Day 12 | Lori Dittman

Today was AWESOME!! I was at the church today, and we started the day sifting sand and painting the outside of the church. The kids were so eager to help that if you put down a sifting pan or paint brush, one of them would swoop in and grab it. I helped in crafts with Logan Gibson. Johnny had to translate for us. The kids made hangers that said Jezi loves and then they added their name with foam stickers and a cross. One little boy added his mom’s name to his. After they finished I would read their hanger. Often they would help me with the pronunciation of their name. I loved seeing how their faces would break into a smile when they heard it. Karen Tolley, thank you so much for the VBS crafts. The kids seemed to like them so much! Everyone came back together for the closing. After the closing I witnessed four little boys go up and talk to Johnny about salvation. “Let the Little children come to me.” I could not understand the words Johnny was saying but I knew I was observing God’s calling. As you can imagine, I was moved to tears. We found out later there was another child that accepted Christ. Praise the Lord!! After VBS we returned to sifting sand. I would like to take this opportunity to apologize for my singing that you may or may not be exposed. The day was scorching and the heat got to me. Thank you so much family and friends for you comments. We get much enjoyment from them. Tomorrow is our last hard day and the final day of VBS. Please pray that we will finish our tasks, bless the families, and that more children will come to know Jesus. Love to all!

  2. I enjoy reading about how God is using each one of you. I was reminded by your comments how important it is to come along side one another to help...just like the children picking up the brushes and shifters. When someone gets tired,...physically, emotionally or spirituality...we are to help them in whatever way God leads us. I pray for your health, strength and spiritual wellness as you serve Him. May you witness souls saved and lives changed. Hugs, love and prayers! Bring home a paintbrush, the Galilean girls begin on Monday!
