Some Pictures
I'm going to take some time to put up some pictures and explain a little bit about what we did in Poland.
The one thing that we did every day from the 10th - 15th was VBS (Vacation Bible School) The first couple days we didn't have very many kids show up. In fact all the kids that came were from the church. But the last few days we had more and more kids that hang out at the coffee house come and participate too. That was one of the most incredible things that God did during the trip. The last day of VBS we got to share Christ with almost 10 kids, some of whom had probably never heard the Gospel. Here are some pics of VBS.
This is Chase teaching a mad lesson about Zacchaeus. He was a wee little man...
We played some awesome water games. It was super hot all week so the kids loved it.
Of course, what VBS could be complete without snack time? And what snack time would be complete without playing with the food?
Keli and Alisha put together some kickin' crafts for the kids to do. This picture is from the day when they made lion masks out of paper plates. Trivia: What story do you think was taught that day?
...and we sang and danced a lot. We have other pictures of the children dancing but I liked this one the best because of the kid in the front doing some kind of Russian dance. Ha! His name was Aaron...he's so funny.
This is us hanging out at a couple's home for lunch the first Sunday we were there. The food was pretty incredible all week. The people in the church were very hospitable. I found myself getting frustrated because I was not able to express my gratitude in a way that they could understand since most of the adults didn't speak English.
This is the soccer stadium that was right behind our hotel. There was a game on Thursday night but we already had plans to go someone's home for dinner. I still regret not going.
Paul, one of the missionaries that we worked with, had some car trouble and we had to push start it a few times. It was fun and tiring.
We gave a concert at the coffee house the last day we were in Lubin. We had a lot of kids show up from the ages of 10 to 21. The other missionaries said that it was the largest turnout they had ever had. We got to share the Gospel to everyone in the room. It was awesome. Rich, a journeyman missionary with IMB, played drums for us. He was awesome.
Well, that's all for now. Hopefully I'll get to put up some more when time permits. Thanks again for all your prayers and support.

Ummm... I think the story that day was Disney's The Lion King. That one's in the Bible, right?
Yes Alisha, that was the story. It is found in the book of Disney. Some people may also refer to the story as The Chronicles of Narnia.
