This past Thursday through Saturday we had our second annual VBS. This year we didn't do as much advertising as last year but have relied heavily on word of mouth (the best and cheapest way to advertise according to my marketing degree!)
We had 21 kids show up the first day and 23 the next 2. We were excited because over half the kids are not church kids and a good bunch of them were people we had never met. The kids were with us 3 hours each day, 1 hour of English which is what draws the kids (actually it is the thing that draws the parents of the kids), 1 hour of games and 1 hour of Bible stories and gospel presentation.
This year we had some special guests with us Larry the Cucumber and Bob the Tomato. Although the 2 didn't speak Thai, we had some Thai people dub for them. The kids thought it was fun which was great and I admit that I had fun too. Although there we no salvations we pray that the seeds planted would be brought into fruition as a result. Two of the kids that came to the VBS were in church this morning so we are excited about that.
Thanks for Tawm and all the work she did organizing it. The best measure of success is the kids and parents ask, when will we be doing it again?

Great look for the blog Brent. Did the kids get the Veggie Tales thing? I'm constantly amazed at how those sorts of things make their way into other countries.
