Band of Survivors Team Update 13

Today we helped the Midwest Corps have a huge Barbeque Outreach and Carnival complete with balloon animals, face painting, inflatables, food and fellowship. Dietrich, John, Gustavo and I were asked to Barbeque for the visitors and it was fun. It’s a great feeling to know that the food people were eating was prepared with love.

God put us to a test when we were at Midwest. This was our last VBS program at the Corps and God helped us give it our all. Out of the three days of hanging around with children, I have to say that all our work was worth it. It was great, kids were actually having fun without having to fight, curse, misbehave or anything else that was natural to them. God was really in the presence of this program and I know this because during the closing part of the VBS Major Colleen Michaud asked the kids and adults if they truly wanted God to come into their lives. Then after that, over 60 people stood up and gave their lives to God.

Besides the spiritual part of the day, the kids were having their face painted and they jumped around in the inflatable stations. It was a lot of fun. Then later we played a game of Dodgeball and that was a good time though it was a little crazy. It was a great day and we were glad to be a part of what the Lord is doing at the Midwest Corps.
