Great Moments from VBS at Willow Pond!

Vacation Bible School at Willow Pond was incredible!  Rickey, Suzanne, Jayda and Will did such a great job.  Thanks also to Father's House volunteers Jimmy, Eddie and Clayton.  Colin Peters, a Pastor at New St. Peter's Church, came over to help on Friday afternoon as well. On Thursday, one of the young girls told the whole group that she had decided to follow Jesus (Will actually caught the moment on camera - see the video below).  Good news! 

The kids enjoyed lots of arts and crafts, puppet shows, and being out of the heat for a few hours.  Thanks to all of the kids who came!  During Friday's puppet show, "Peter" (who sounded a lot like Rickey Fanning) gave a great presentation of the Good News.  Will then presented an open invitation for the kids to talk with any of us if they are interested in following Jesus.  I had a conversation with Dane and asked him what he thought...he told me he had been thinking about it since Thursday--when Rickey and Suzanne presented....and that he wanted to follow Jesus! 

So, Will, Colin, and Charles (who recently declared himself a Christian) joined Dane and I as he prayed to receive Jesus into his heart, pledged to follow Jesus, thanked Jesus for paying the price, and told God he loved Him.  We then expressed our desire to be in Dane's life as much as he would like...and I shared with Dane how special he is and voiced hope for his future in Christ.

Please join us in praying for Dane and Erika, and supporting them however we can.

Good news indeed!
