Connecticut VBS 2nd Day

We had a very eventful day today.  We, of course, had the VBS day 2 and the kids were very excited and they brought school supplies for the kids in Brazil.  They even brought some friends along.  We had a total of 65 today but they added 9 new students.  Dr. Edwards played Pharoh today.  We are teaching the Moses story in case you didn't know.  When VBS ended we traveled to New Boston and met up with the George West team that is doing construction for a Spanish church.  We also visited the Western Connecticut Baptist Association building.  At each place we had a prayer meeting in encourage the work in New England.  We then traveled to Waterbury and visited with the pastor that works in the downtown area and works a lot with the street people in Waterbury.  He also has a food pantry.  We had a prayer meeting with him also.  It is very discouraging to be in the New England area where our country was founded and see the lack of Christianity here.  There are a lot of old church buildings that were started in the early 1700's, but yet are empty.  There is a sense of religion in New England, but not a sense of Christianity.  So the fields are "white with harvest".  The missionaries really need our prayers.  Until tomorrow...
