Update from Valley Brook Community Church Youth
Last day of VBS

by Bethany R. | July 15, 2011 2:55 PM

Today was also our last day with the kids at VBS. It was so difficult to say goodbye to them, knowing we will probably not see them again. After many tears and long hugs, we said goodbye. We are amazed at how the Lord used these kids to show us His love this week. Their smiles will be something we will never forget.

Hi Students and Leaders, We are proud of you for being radical and going to another country to serve people in Jesus' name! Thank you for sacrificing your time, comfort and treasure to identify with those who have less than you! We are praying for you and we can't wait to hear what God has done in your lives and through your presence in Belize!
