Only four weeks remain until Humbly I Serve’s trip to Saint Thomas. As the preparation is underway, our burden for the children in St. Thomas weighs heavier among us, but we are excited to anticipate how God will work through us. Our prayer and hope is to take every opportunity to share the love of Christ with these children.
The children in St. Thomas struggle to find individual worth and value. These children are in life, all the while lost trying to find their purpose within a culture that believes items and materialism matter and create significance. As these children learn that items predict who they are and what they will become, they slowly lose grasp of anything eternal.
Humbly I Serve’s prayer for this trip is to break through the culture’s idea of value. We hope to shatter the mindset they are so frequently forced to accept through the love of Christ. We strive to show these children that nothing on this earth matters apart from Jesus Christ through our Bible Boot Camp program.
Much like Vacation Bible School, the Bible Boot Camp is designed to engage kids through stories, crafts, and activities while sharing the message of the gospel. Through our teaching and actions we hope to show these children the value the Lord has for them, no matter what their stature is in society.
We are still in need of some last minute items for our trip in August:
1. Craft Supplies: This can be anything! Glue, crayons, paper, coloring sheets, scissors, glitter, etc.
2. Bibles: Our goal is to leave each child with a Bible once the Bible Boot Camp is complete. Any type of bible will suffice and be essential in eternally impacting a child’s life.
