Record Attendance at VBS
What a fantastic day! In the morning we continued work around El Refugio. The entire team worked incredibly hard and accomplished a lot. The concrete work was completed with the guys literally running the wheelbarrows full of cement 50 yards from the mixer to the pour. The gazebo is going to be fabulous when completed.
The brush teams and climbing wall teams also made huge progress. The climbing wall tower is now completely scraped and painted and the wood wall plates that will be mounted to the tower are close to complete. Soon we will be moving the tower into place. The brush team cleared a 500 square yard area, on a steep incline, using machetes. It really improves the look and view, and everyone enjoyed the work.
As great as the work was, however, the best part of the day was VBS. The kids from the surrounding area started arriving at the gates two hours before VBS was to start. We had over 120 kids – and for a first day of VBS that is a record! The program, crafts and games were enjoyed by all and our kids did a fantastic job running the event. Typically, the second day of VBS is even better attended, so we are expecting a crowd!
We appreciate your continued prayers!

Great to read the updates in the blog! It sounds like it’s been a fantastic trip and that you’ve worked hard and accomplished a lot! First day of VBS sounded like a great day–that’s awesome to have such a great turn out. I can imagine our FBCG students enjoying interacting with the children there. We’ll continue to be praying for God’s work to be done in and through each of you who are on the Quito Quest team–may you each come back as changed men and women of God…I’m sure you will!
