Day 9 and 10 - Sunday Morning HBC Finale, Dublin, and Heading Home

First of all, as the Lord certainly proved to us this week many time, God is so good! Sunday morning we had no idea what to expect... How many would come? What kind of set up should we have? How much food should be made for lunch after church? We had no idea what would happen. Bob decided to start a little later as people kept coming in close to the service start time. By the time we officially started we had somewhere between 160-170 in attendance! We were blown away... Every chair we set up was filled, and even more had to be set up to accommodate all the people. This was a huge blessing to Bob and the people of Mallow Bible Fellowship.

The goal of the service was to get all the people in attendance to get the feel of what the children experienced throughout the week at Holiday Bible Club... We had the kids come up and sing, we performed a funny sketch as well as one of our serious skits, we recognized the kids that memorized verses and brought friends, and we even had a slideshow. After we had done these things, I had the opportunity to share with everyone why we, and Bob's church, have a heart for a HBC/VBS ministry, how much God loves children from Matthew 18, and the gospel of Jesus Christ.

All in all it was a fantastic morning that turned out to be more than what we ever expected! God is so good... Please pray that many of the visitors that attended would decide to return to Mallow Bible Fellowship in the Sundays to come. Pray that there would be fruit that would remain! (Jn 15:1-8)

We're now in the Atlanta airport on our way home... pictures from Sunday's service and Dublin are below!
