2nd Day


Our second day of clubs saw 36 kids attending in the morning at the church and over 40 at Colinas in the evening. We had a couple of hiccups in the morning, but we were able to do our full schedule of puppets, skit, crafts, memory verse, games, and the wordless book. Debi was feeling much better, and other than minor stomach bugs, everyone on the team is pretty healthy now. We have really enjoyed working with the leadership of Iglesia Jerusalen. Adrianna, Karen, and Noah have been vital assets to our work. In our team meeting tonight, several mentioned that they felt like those three were really doing a lot of the real ministry - that we were definitely doing our part, but that we were helping them, not the other way around - which is our goal for sustainable, long-term ministry.
The evening clubs in Colinas del Sur were similar to yesterday with one addition: clowns! Conrad was talked into donning a clown costume and make-up and joined one of the other girls from the church as a clown to invite kids to the club. Steve had an opportunity to spend some time playing soccer with a couple of the older guys that were causing some disruptions during his teaching.
