Power Lab Has Ended

Five days of high energy is over at First Baptist Church. We averaged 175 children at Power Lab. The fifth and sixth grade students went to Michigan Adventure on Friday. The 7th & 8th grade students visited the fairgrounds and launched their rockets. They had been building them all week. Everyone signed a soccer ball that will be sent to the children at the deaf village and Caribbean School for the Deaf in Jamaica. Crews prayed for the children that would receive the balls.

Bible School is a huge investment in time and finances for a church family. Is it worth it? If you really want to know, ask one of the children to tell you about his or her week. Ask the volunteers who had the opportunity to answer a child's question about Jesus or had an opportunity to lead that child to invite Jesus to be their Savior. For me, it is worth every penny and every second spent in preparation and during the week. We sow the seed and God has promised to bless it.
