Lessons learned

In addition to visiting the Marketplace, the kids also take a trip to the synagogue each night. While there, they learn about Jewish customs and more about that night's Bible point.




Tonight in the Marketplace, the children also learned another lesson: We are so blessed to have so many material possessions!
Jamba told everyone about the coat drive Heritage sponsored last winter to send jackets to orphans in Bulgaria. One of our members knew how badly the children there needed coats, and tonight, our kids got to see a video of the Bulgarian children after they received their coats. Jamba suggested that our VBS participants bring some change to help pay the $600 it cost to send those coats to Bulgaria. Any children who want to are encouraged to bring their change to VBS this week. People can still donate coats, too!

How wonderful for these children to share Christ's love with kids on the other side of the world!
