Bearing Fruit through Children’s Outreach Programs

Children across our city and especially in the more rural areas often face the challenge of staying in school, coming home to an empty house or having younger siblings to care for while their parent's work. These children receive the unconditional love of Jesus Christ when we visit their neighborhoods & invite them to come to the home of a person who is active in serving the Lord. Taking an interest in their homework, time to play with them, teaching a Bible lesson or fixing them a simple nutritious snack are all ways in which Christ’s love is exalted through our Outreach Programs. We’ve had the privilege of seeing lives changed as children & their parents are coming to know Christ as their Lord & Savior through VBM Outreach Programs.

Life on the Vine: August Update

Submitted by aburto on August 28, 2008 - 8:02pm. Outreach Progams

Friends and Partners in Ministry, we have made it home to Piedras and have hit the ground running!

Leaving town in May while school was still in session and making it back in August just a week before classes start again makes it seem as though we had no "summer"! Aleana spent the first few days playing for hours with every friend & toy she had almost forgotten about! How excited we were to be back alongside the Lord's work here and encouraged to see the growth God has been bringing these past 3 months to VBM's outreach programs! We still are averaging 15-20 youth in our thursday home group that meets and our youth have now opened another new group that meets in a fairly large privitized neighborhood in town on tuesdays which had 12 attend this week! VBM's Outreach in Cenizos neighborhood with Roman and Karla continues to minister to and meet the needs of 35 consistent children. We were able to do a special saturday outreach there with some friends from near Houston and received 75 children who were blessed with bags of school supplies. Another VBM special saturday outreach in the "2000" neighborhood received 110 children at Sylvia's home. Thank you to Friendswood Community Church and Faith Community Church over near Houston who blessed each child with bags full of school supplies while we shared with them a meal and the good news of Christ. Thanks also to our missionary friends The Mercers in Quemado Texas at the Cornerstone Children's Ranch. They received LOTS of good used donated school supplies and called us to come out and fill up last week! PRAISE GOD for His timely provisions!
