A Lesson in Surprises

School is ten days away and I'm not sure if the kids or the parents are more excited.  Everyone is counting down the days til classes start and the learning begins. 

Last week Gepher had VBS.  On the first morning, five Hope for Tomorrow children arrived at the building thanks to one of the Dad's bringing them in the pedicab.  (A pedicab is a bicyle with a sidecar attached.  Its one form of public transportation in the Philippines.  The driver pedals his passengars to their destination.)  Each day was filled with lots of crafts and activities.  They kids made unleven bread with modeling clay, wrapped one another as mummies, and did other fun things to help them learn all about Jesus' Resurrection.

   

The kids enjoyed VBS so much they are now coming to Bible class on Sunday (and even bringing some of their mothers)!!  How amazing that God is already using this ministry to open doors to meet the kids' and their family's spiritual needs.

We are so blessed by the outpouring generousity of our sponsors.  This year we will be changing 21 children's lives as they have an opportunity to attend school.  We can't wait to see all those smiling faces as they walk into the classroom for the first time in just ten short days!!
