Sharing with FBC Kids

Our student team recently went into the Sunday school classrooms of FBC Kids to talk about the Costa Rica mission trip and hand out prayer cards. It was also meant to get the families of Frisco Bible to pray for the trip with their kids. It was very successful and the kids learned a lot about our trip and how it is important! 

I personally went into the 2nd grade classrooms and spent some time talking with the kids about what their VBS was like and if they had fun, which lead to a lot of interesting conversations. It was really cool to talk to kids about our VBS we are doing for kids in a different country since these kids had already done their VBS the week before. A lot of the kids seemed excited that we would be able to have fun with other kids too. The most important thing we have done preparing for this trip is getting to have  awesome conversations like these with people from the church to get more support in prayer for our trip.

Door to Door Experiences

Today was our second to last day of VBS! Our team is doing absolutely amazing with keeping the energy up and staying engaged even though we are SO TIRED. They always say that the third day of VBS is the hardest, but our team is totally rocking it! Our door to door has also been awesome. Here's  a cool story from Caleb: God has been working in my life. My biggest fear when on the trip is saying something wrong and ruining the idea of Christianity for them. That puts me in a place and often it gets in the way of me trying my best to open up and share the Gospel. I can speak Spanish but choose not to going house to house because fear held me back. Normally I intro house to house in Spanish but stop when it comes to the Gospel. However, when I was talking to a house, my translator Fabio stepped back and said “No man, you are doing great continue.” Fabio pushed me out of my comfort zone and I shared the Good News in Spanish and then today the family I talked to was at the VBS! Not onl

Today we asked our team to share 2-3 sentences about their highlight from the day.  Here are a few of their stories: Captain’s log. Stardate 3310.6 Today’s VBS was better than yesterday’s. The kids seem to be more open now. They are becoming more friendly and less nervous. I was part of the Movement and Music crew, and I spent every ounce of energy to make it fun and interesting. Looking forward to tomorrow to see what God has in store. \ - Thomas ---------- Going house to house fo sho.

 Team Building The Spider Web This challenge made us work together to move from one side of the web to the other side. Only one person could go through each space and you could not touch the web. We had to think creatively and rely on one another to accomplish this task. Brooke said, "We need to learn to open our minds to others ideas so we move better as a team, rather than acting on impulse and causing problems individually." The Beam On the beam, we had to arranger ourselves by height and then birthdate. This one was the most challenging for us. There were many challenges to navigate  - communication, physical movement, and mistakes, to name a few. We were very limited and that can make us freeze. Caleb's take-away, "Everyone needs help, not in every situation, but no one can do anything alone. Don’t be afraid to ask for help knowing that by the time we are in Costa Rica we all will be equipped to help". We are continuing to grow as team and worki
