| Amazing team of volunteers. |
This past
month was an amazing one with laughter and joy watching people of all ages
enjoy .We had our family night as a church to fellowship with families and have
lots of fun. We enjoyed watching the families’ together showing off their
talents and just having fun.it was a wonderful night just seeing a smile on
everyone’s face. Another big event we had this month is our Vacation Bible
School which we conducted for the kids this summer. It was for four days and
the kids enjoyed a lot. Our topic for this month was “Power Praises’’ teaching
them to worship God in Spirit and in Truth. Each day we had a main theme:
Freedom, Peace, Faith and Praise.

| Craft station |
According to
the themes for each day we had crafts, stories, songs and games for them. This year
we were able to do it a little different. We had three stations which the kids
would attend each day in rotations. First station was the Recital cube where
they hear the bible story and enact it out and learn that day’s memory verse as
well. Second station was the music box station where the kids would learn the action
song that is related to the theme and play a game too. The final station was
the do it yourself station which was the craft station. Every day the kids
enjoyed learning and experiencing the word of God through different means.

The kids
were very responsive and we as a team of volunteers enjoyed working among these
amazing kids. We had around 80 kids and 25 volunteers to help minister to these
kids. Some of the kids came from far place out of Ranchi just to enjoy the VBS
with us. The kids learned a lot from the word of God and enjoyed dancing and
singing for the Lord. I have conducted three VBS so far and I can say that this
time by the grace of God it went really smoothly with less tension and more
fun. Everything was so well organised with my core team of three. We can
testify that it has been one of the easiest VBS we have run so far. The volunteers
were very cooperative and a great blessing to us.

We definitely
saw the hand of the Lord on each one of us and on the last day we felt the
presence of the Lord during our worship session. God has been so faithful this
time also on providing our every need. As an accountant for three years in the
VBS I can say this time we never ran out of money. God has helped us serve
these kids well with all the resources we needed. It was a blessed time for all
of us and it has always been a great joy working among the kids. They have so
much to teach us and no matter what mood you are in or how low you feel they
give you a reason to smile. They are a true treasure that I cherish a lot.

This season
has been good and a little challenging in my personal life. God has been
teaching me to continue loving and trusting him even when it gets hard and
people treat you indifferently. God loves me no matter what because he knows me
inside out. I’m fully known and loved by him. I don’t have to prove myself to
anybody. From the beginning till the end
I know He will choose to stay even when I fail in many ways he is never done
with me. He’s faithful to the end even when your loved ones leave you He is
there. God is the only reason worth living for and I enjoy serving him with all
I have even with my shortcomings. I am so grateful that He is my daddy forever.

Some of my prayer
points would be:
 |
| The game station |
· For God to work in some areas of my
life where I need healing as well and to pursue him no matter what the
situation is.
· For God’s wisdom as we are starting
our new session with the bible college kids that as we teach them they would
grasp the truth of God’s word.
· As I continue to work among the kids
that God would show me more of his heart for them and how I can do better.
