Wednesday, February 5, Childcare at Leawood, West, Overland Park will not be open during morning due to local public school systems announcing late arrival schedules. All church buildings will operate on regular schedule. However, at Leawood, West and Overland Park, programs requiring childcare will not be held prior to noon Wednesday.
On Sunday, February 9, we’re moving our regular 5 pm worship service to 4 pm so everyone can get home in time to watch the Chiefs play in the Super Bowl.
Our team had an incredible day today in El Obraje! We started our “pila” projects in homes not far from the church. Our Honduran brothers and sisters welcomed us in their homes with open arms! We feel incredibly blessed by this act of hospitality! A pila is a concrete and brick structure that retains water for washing clothes and dishes, among other things. Today we started on the foundations of the pilas. We will continue these projects over the next several days. Along with our team members, there is a member of the family there to help and a foreman with construction experience.
After lunch it was time for VBC! Today, Moses taught the Israelites that God provides all that we need. We learned that God gave the Israelites just enough manna for their needs, not too much, not too little. Our team presented a skit, lead a drawing activity and to explore the concept of manna falling from the sky, we presented candy coming from the sky via a piñata! This was a VBC favorite!
Upon arrival back in Danli, we were treated to a delicious dinner and meaningful time for devotion and debrief. God continues to work though us as we walk alongside the Honduran people. The community of El Obraje is incredibly welcoming and inclusive. The children are engaging, and we are continuously blessed that we can share in this experience with them!
