One of the most important parts of the mission was a Bible school for the children, held every afternoon. Our team included people with extensive experience in conducting Daily Vacation Bible Schools in their home churches. Several local young people helped with translation, but things went smoothly despite the language difference. The kids had fun, and that does a lot to override language barriers.
La Colonia Gloria Methodist Church
The location for the Bible School was La Colonia Gloria Methodist Church, the smallest and poorest of the Methodist churches in Ahuachapan. A small, concrete block and plaster building with a dirt floor, the steps up to the entrance were tree roots! But as the saying goes, it's what inside that counts!
And what was inside was a group of eager, enthusiastic kids, ready to listen.
There was lots of singing, led by Salvadoran Christian young people. . .
And then it was lesson time.
And then again, time for more fun!
