As the afternoon sun cast its golden glow over Batey 2, our mission group transformed into a vibrant hub of laughter and joy, hosting a VBS (Vacation Bible School) for the community's children.

The air crackled with excitement as the children gathered, their faces beaming with anticipation. We kicked off the afternoon with a medley of energetic songs, their voices blending in a harmonious chorus that echoed through the makeshift classroom.

Next came the captivating story of Daniel, a tale of unwavering faith and divine intervention. The children listened intently as we recounted Daniel's courageous stand against the king's decree, his unwavering belief in God, and his miraculous rescue from the lions' den.

Their imaginations soared as we transformed the room into a creative haven, filled with colorful crafts, whimsical face painting, and a shower of iridescent bubbles. The children's laughter filled the air as they unleashed their artistic talents, their faces adorned with vibrant designs and their hands busy crafting masterpieces.

As the afternoon drew to a close, we gathered once more for a closing song, our voices blending in a harmonious tapestry of joy and praise. The children's faces radiated with happiness, their hearts filled with the warmth of faith and the joy of camaraderie.

Reluctant goodbyes were exchanged as we prepared to depart, promising to return with more adventures and lessons to share. The children's pleas for us to stay echoed in our ears, a testament to the impact we had made on their young lives.

With hearts brimming with gratitude, we left Batey 2, carrying the echoes of laughter and the spirit of shared joy. Ahead of us lay our farewell service at Pastor Ruperto's church, a time to express our appreciation for the community's hospitality and reflect on the transformative power of faith and service.

The VBS in Batey 2 served as a poignant reminder of the innocence, resilience, and boundless joy that children possess. It was a privilege to share a glimpse of God's love and the power of faith with these precious souls, leaving an indelible mark on their hearts and ours.
