It's been over a month since my last post... I apologize.
As you may already know my dear friend, I am back in Texas.
This past two months have been unreal. The Lord showed me his mercy and glory. He worked in my character and my attitude. I don't think I'm the same person I was two months ago. I opened my eyes and showed me what was wrong with me, but He also used me. I never knew God would use me in the way He did. I praise God for the mercies He showed me this summer.
This summer I served at Iglesia Bautista La Palabra in a neighborhood called Corona in Queens, NY. I was able to step out my comfort zone. My missions partner Erika and I would have to wake up two hours before we had to be at church. It would take us an hour to get ready and another hour to ride the bus, then the train. I'm not complaining, it was a great experience.
As our summer in Corona came to an end, we organized our VBS (Vacation Bible School).
We had almost about 80 kids in our VBS. About 60 of these kids didn't attend church; and out of these 60 kids, only 2 came back to our church on Sunday. I thank God for these two children who were able to come back (without their parents). I know that a seed was planted in their tiny hearts and hopefully they can go home and tell their parents about the love of Christ.
At the end of our VBS week, we had a block party where we invited the neighborhood. Here are some photos of what we did during VBS week!
This are our beautiful missionaries from the Metropolitan NY Baptist Association that helped us during our VBS week <3
We also had the opportunity to meet missionaries from Houston, TX. We gave them a little tour around Corona and shared with them the spiritual need in this area.
Truly His,
Leilani.
