This past
week Abbi and I have been busy with Vacation Bible School preparations. It has been exciting to see how God has been working
out all the small details and pushing this camp forward.
Here are
some more ways that you can pray for the Vacation Bible School:
Camp Curriculum:
Though there are some similarities in planning and preparing for a
Stateside and foreign VBS, there are also many huge differences to take into
account, such as: culture, language, illiteracy…
Finding a pre-packaged VBS curriculum, which would translate well here,
has proven to be problematic. With this
in mind, we have been pulling from several different resources to create a
solid lesson set.
Please pray
with us for wisdom and direction in the preparation of camp curriculum.
Campers: Pray that just the right children
would come to camp in May. Pray that God
would already be working to soften these children’s hearts, so that may be ready
to hear and understand His word. Pray
too that their parents, their work (planting, weeding, shepherding,
babysitting…), sickness, hunger… would not prevent them from attending camp.
Weather:
Rainy season has already begun here in Nagishot. By the time this camp roles around in late
May, rainy season will be in full swing.
Weather could be a huge obstacle, as children will have to walk great
distances each morning/afternoon, shelter will be minimal and we would love to conduct sports and other activities outside throughout the week.
Rain + Didinga VBS = sad face
Of course,
God is in complete control of the weather.
Pray for fair Bible camp weather (8am to 4pm).
Small Details: Provision of finances for camp food
and supplies, flight schedules for Colorado short-termers, national
translators, camp cooks, cross-continental planning for camp supplies,
curriculum and logistics…
Thanks for praying!!!
Trust in the Lord with all your
heart, and do not lean on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge
him, and he will make straight your paths.
Proverbs 3:5-6
