Kids Small Groups

SUCH an awesome day to see God's name lifted up HIGH through our incredible 6th graders and their parents.  Here are the village highlights and a few pics:

VILLAGE #1 - led by Mickey & Gary, they visited a new church partner who holds a weekly gathering in a new, low-income community.  It was a beautiful and natural outreach opportunity as about 50 kids and their parents were there to learn about Jesus through worship and the team taught a lesson on God's SHAPE for each of them.  Through coloring, games, lesson teaching, and more the team led well.  Then after lunch the combined forces with Village #2 to evangelize in the local community of Roca Fuerte inviting them to come to church tomorrow morning.

VILLAGE #2 - led by Scott, had a FULL and fun day at Roca Fuerte.  The morning was filled with teaching lessons and ministering to about 20 kids.  They truly exemplified the body of Christ by teaching elements of all their lessons - SHAPE, salvation, fishing for men, and so much more through teaching, games, crafts, and more.  Way to be so purpose-driven!  And as noted above the team joined forces with Village #1 to reach the local community in support of Roca Fuerta in the name of Jesus.




VILLAGE #3 - led by Gloria & Bill, this team visited a long-time church partner of El Gran Rey.  Similar to all of our villages they were blessed with tons of kids in the morning so much so that this team bravely divided up into two smaller teams.  One stayed and taught at El Gran Rey while the other visited a nearby church ministry partner where they taught about 80 kids and fed them lunch.  Then the team reunited over their lunchtime and prepared to teach about 12 children's leaders in all that they have personally seen and experienced in their time in children's ministry.

VILLAGE #4 - led by Erin & Bob, kicked off the morning at Tabernaculo's outreach ministry with lots of kiddos.  Fun was had by all as they shared about belonging to team Jesus and what His love can and will do in their lives.  Seeing them plant literal, and figurative, seeds of salvation was powerful.  They got to join forces for a little while with Village #3 towards the end of the day before wrapping things up.

God was clearly GOOD! God was glorified! God is at work.  Keep the prayers coming as inevitably there are weary and worn warriors after such a full day.  Time to eat dinner, reflect on all that happened through solitude time with God, chapel, and village time.  Day two...almost done!
