Today will be our last day of Vacation Bible School with the children in Pine Ridge, SD. On the first day most of the team was up by this time of the morning (6:30am) and ready to go. Today, there is very little movement. We are all tired and some of us are sore from work projects, but we are all ready for one last day (at least for this year).
This is our final day this year to speak the Truth of the Gospel Message into the lives of these kids. After today, we can only assume that they will not hear the gospel as clearly again until our return. So, our prayers go out to them. May the Seed grow and flourish on good soil, changing the hearts and souls of the Lakota people, so that Jesus Christ, who is their only true Hope, will become great among them.
There is much history and animosity in this place. And frankly, I cannot blame them. We would feel the same way if our own history followed the path of their people over the last 150 years. But as great as this wall of history is against the Gospel, our God is greater. Pray that this wall is broken, the Truth is spread, and people are changed.
God is good! God is strong! God is our only hope! God is our Savior!
For His glory and honor, forever and ever. Amen.
(Can't wait until next year.)
