VBS 2004

We praise God that presentation of “Lava Lava Island” for VBS proved to be a fast-paced and wonderful week of power and blessing as the Holy Spirit moved in and through all those involved!! Along with the fun and fellowship that the children and leaders involved, three children accepted Jesus as Lord and Savior and many recommitments were also made. Seeds were planted and many memories created that will remain for a long time!! A humongous Thank you to:
