For the
second year, the churches that meet on the Baptist Temple campus
joined forces to put together a high quality VBS. The level of energy
and the spirit of unity displayed were beyond measure. The Sunday
morning attendance of the BT campus churches ranges from 20 to 150
and includes Baptist Temple Church,
Community
Bible Church Highland Park, Mision
Bautista Betel, Family
Deaf Church and Sunny
Slope Baptist Church.
These
churches have a diverse membership that crosses ethnic, racial,
language and economic barriers. We were joined this year by a church
that ministers to African refugees, Iglesia del Dios Altisimo. Their
African children plus a student mission team from Baptist
University of the Americas brought a total of 14
different nations to our
campus that week.
Our
efforts resulted in over 90 workers, 173 students
enrolled, 667 dinners served, $730 raised for missions
and six decisions for salvation. Although the six decisions
seems a low number, we had a lot of children return who had made
decisions last year.
The most
significant impact of that week was the Kingdom impact of six
churches, different from each other in many ways, working together
for the sake of the gospel!
