"Hit the Ground Running"

We returned to El Refugio on June 15th and literally hit the ground running. We arrived at the same time as our largest group of the summer (49 people). Geneva Youth, from Illinois has been coming every summer for the last seven years and we have had the privilege of spending time with them the last three summers. Sterling, the Youth Pastor, does an amazing job with the students and every time their bus drives out we are sad to see them go.


As part of their VBS the group put together a craft project where the kids made beaded necklaces that told the redemption story. Danielle is the one who translated the story and instructions to the children from Calacali.

Howard helped out with the craft project as well.

VBS also included field day activities. Jonathan is kneeling down next to one of the children.


Kim and Robin McCart come each year and serve so faithfully with the group. They are known as counselors to the kids and fellow leaders to the church. For Howard and I they have simply become our friends who we love dearly.
