Our team split up as the VBS took place in the villages of Jina and Poinana with stories about Zacchaeus, the story of creation, and a Gospel message based on the wordless book. After the story and times of worship with fun children’s songs, we divided the kids into two groups and sent them off to do crafts while the other group went outside to play games. Working with the translators while trying to communicate with a hundred kids was challenging at first but the team did well, and it became comfortable by the end of our time. Some of the children traveled miles on dirt roads in the summer heat to get to the church for the VBS, and we know it was as the children had a great time. Even though Romania has few resources for children’s ministry when compared to the U.S., we are thankful that at each location there are local Romanian Christians who will continue their work with the youth through the local evangelical churches.
