Tuesday was our final day of VBS. We had the opportunity to share the gospel using salvation bracelets and were able to leave each child with the gift of a wooden cross necklace. The teachers and our wonderful translators jumped in to make sure that this precious message was conveyed to each student. Though we only had two short days with them, the kids at this school will always have a special place in our hearts. If you want to change the future of a country, you must reach the hearts of the children and it was truly an amazing and humbling experience for us to have the opportunity to be involved.
We spent the evening exploring the largest mall in Nicaragua, which was very similar to malls in America. Apparently the concept of a mall is universal. Later that evening some of the youth and young adults from the church came over to enjoy pizza and games as we said goodbye on our final night.
4am on Wednesday morning a very sleepy group of Americans were at the airport in Managua to say our final goodbyes to Pastor Andy and begin our long journey home. It was a wonderful trip and we were all blessed by the ways that Pastor Andy and Diane Large and the members of their church opened up their hearts and their lives and allowed us to participate in their mission to reach the lost souls in Nicaragua. We are so grateful to serve a God who is not limited by geographic location or language, but is powerful to do all things.
