A little over a month ago I wrote about a VBS program. The program was called “His World News” held at St. Vincent De Paul church in Shepherd, MI, where they were learning about poverty around the world.
Over the course of that week the kids were asked to collect change (we had talked to the organizers about The Change Campaign) from around their homes (under cushions, pockets, etc.). Chuck was on several conference calls with them and hearing the kids’ enthusiasm everyday on the phone during that week was so exciting. Through their efforts the church sent Saved By God’s Grace a check for $600! Thanks kids for your involvement and your love for the Lord to help those in need around the world.
After VBS week was over three of the kids wanted to start a club, His World Club. From their August 13th meeting notes,
“The goal of the club is to learn about other cultures, their problems, possible solutions and then to do something about it, act to improve in some way.” They “felt it would be a great goal to get the club started and then help kids at other schools to start clubs too.”
I love seeing God’s people moving with the Holy Spirit to “carry each other’s burdens, and in this way you will fulfill the law of Christ.” (Galatians 6:2) Oh the power of the Cross that God has given to each of us working together as the body of Christ!
