Chau from Latvia! Week Two


This week has been very busy for us here in Latvia. We have had VBS every morning, play time in the afternoon and planning at night. The kids keep us out until around 8 p.m. every night because it doesn't get dark until around 11 p.m. It has been so much fun! We have had a great time being creative and silly with the Bible stories. When we told the story of Joshua and the Israelites crossing the Jordan we made new words for three popular American songs: "I Love Rock and Roll," "Complicated” (Avril Lavigne), and "Rolling on the River” (Tina Turner). The kids loved it, and we even got to perform again at the youth service at the church that night. We have really connected with some of the kids, too. One girl in particular, Lola, joined us for our nightly devotional the other night. I stayed up talking with her until 2:30 a.m. She is a Christian and was just telling me what a blessing we have been in her life. She writes us little notes everyday telling us how much she loves us. There is no doubt God is moving in this place. Thank you for all of your prayers and love.

In His Grip,
Latvian Team
