When I planned my sabbatical leave I knew I didn't want to miss Vacation Bible School. In twenty-one years as a pastor and several years before that I have never missed VBS. I'm so glad I didn't again this year. It was a fantastic week with hundreds of kids and workers. The greatest number was 42, that's the number of kids that made professions of faith on Wednesday morning, the highlight of the week for me. This year Chris Barfield brought some great new ideas. One of which was my favorite. At family night Brad Cockrell and I baptized 11 of those kids! I now have a new highlight of the week!
This morning 23 of us left for Haiti. We will be there until Saturday June 26th. Please pray for safety and opportunities to share Jesus with the people there. I won't be able to post until I return so I will get back with you next Saturday.
