Day two. Plan: Pool with kids in the am, then lunch, then our “VBS” in the afternoon. Reality: Long walk to pool through downtown Baltimore (which was VERY nice) with 60+ kids, pool time, long walk back to the Recreation Center, quick lunch out of the van, “Scavenger Hunt” in the Inner Harbor with the Rec center kids (more walking…), return to the Rec center, all are exhausted (Rec center kids, mission team…) and, therefore we nixed our VBS.
Our team worked very hard today seeking opportunities to speak to kids about Jesus by playing with them in the pool, talking with them on the walk to and from the pool, giving piggyback rides and holding hands of nervous little ones, playing Old Maid and Go Fish, taking initiative for kids’ safety (just a reminder, this is a middle school team). We gave out Wordless Bracelets yesterday; these bracelets simply tell the salvation message through colored beads. I heard several conversations today with kids, reviewing and reinforcing that message. God’s Word is being spoken and heard this week. Glory to God!
