Monday
VBS is about to start. Now people of the church are arriving and we have to put the final touches on everything, then VBS will start at 9am. Dea just walked by and said that there were so many kids that we had to use another vehicle to transport them all. That's amazing! God is already showing uo and showing off. Kids are showing up!
Monday- 8:03pm
Just got back from the backyard bible club, and it was fun! We went to Guadalupe, a town about 25 minutes from Zacatecas. We worked with Kevin and his wife and a married couple who are missionaries. 10 kids showed up, which was a good crowd. They got to experience music, crafts, bible story, games, and snack. While the BBC was going on, Jim (the guy with us) got to witness to two men. One, Javier, is a Jehovah's Witness who had a lot of questions, and Tonio, a man with 3 children who is on the verge of accepting Christ as his Savior. Javier said he would be back. I hope Tonio returns.
Tomorrow we start the day over again. VBS @9am, break, then BBC @5pm. It's been a long day, but we can make it through because Christ is with us and this is why we are here.
Pray for: Tonio, Javier, The Backyard Bible Club to grow, That even more children will show up @ VBS, and that we can find space to fit all the children. Pray for us. We are all very tired. I myself am feeling sluggish, but a good nights sleep will do us good.
Today:
Alright, we are on our break, and we've already had a great day! VBS went very well. We had even more children show up. Dea, the VBS Director, said that 120 kids were at VBS yesterday, and that was the most children they have had in 135 years.
Sherri wants to post something, too.
Sherri:
Wow, there are really no words for what we are seeing. The people here and the the church have been growing since we were last here. The church service was much more crowded and the number of children here at VBS is incredible. I am getting to see some of the kids that I feel in love with last year and it has been emotional to say the least. Being able to hold them in my arms and love and kiss on them again. In fact I started crying when I got to hold them again and Kristen had to explain to them that I was happy and they were tears of joy. I am so proud of Pablo and the church and how they are reaching this city for Christ. Our backyard Bible club went well yesterday, we didn't know what to expect - but it went well and we are all getting excited for Thursday to get here for the block party. We are so blessed to be here and be a part of the work that God is doing and here in these cities. The missionaries we are helping in the afternoons are so nice and excited about their work here too. We really need prayers for our health, there are so many of us struggling with sinus stuff and lack of sleep! So please pray for our health, that is our greatest need right now. Satan is trying hard to break us down, so pray hard. We love you all and appreciate so much your prayers, love and support.
Willfully His, Sherri Sexton
Bro. Kevin would like to add something as well.
Bro Kevin:
I am so proud of this team. It is a tiring day for the team. We have seen the power of God displayed so many times already and it is only Tuesday. The people here walk in spiritual darkness. They so badly need the light of Jesus Christ to enlighten their heart to the truth of the gospel. We are so proud to represent Valley Creek Baptist Church. You cannot be here, but we represent every member. I appreciate my staff handling things in my absence. Thanks guys! I have never seen so many kids in one small building. This is great and we love what we are doing. I will see you soon. Dios Le Bendiga.
Alright, we have to go, but we will try to update soon. It takes too long to put pictures up, but I'll try again later.
We all love you! Keep praying for us!
-The Mexico Mission Team
