What is EBdV you may ask? It is 'Escuela Bíblica de Vacaciones' or 'Vacation Bible School' in English! Last Tuesday through Friday, from 3 to 6 pm each afternoon, we put on a program based on the Old West with a sheriff, outlaws, horse-shoes and branding. My prayer before the event was that we wouldn't have too many or too few kids participate and God answered those prayers, as we had 10-20 kids each day! It was exhausting doing all the decorating, learning lines for sketches and organizing games, crafts, choreography and Bible studies. By the end, even the most sullen, uninterested kids were jumping up and down excitedly! It's a good thing Mary Beth and I have a good marriage, as preparing such a thing in one's church (which is also our house) was a stressful event!
A successful EBdV!!
