In the village of VoliVoli near Sigatoka, we held our first SonTreasure Island Vacation Bible School. We had over 50 children attend, from pre-school age to jr high. What a wonderful time it was! We sang ‘Action’ Songs, as they call them, held puppet shows, told Bible stories, made crafts and played wild and crazy games with Stephanie. Leslie was our tech person, operating the laptop and projector, re-organizing our disorganized crafts time! Meraya Kenawai and I took turns telling the Bible story. When it rained on the third day, Pastor Ladd paid for a shed to be put up over the heads of the children and we continued rain or shine.

Speaking of rain, it POURED on the last day while we were showing the slide show of all the pictures we had taken. The children cheered and roared with laughter at each of the 50 plus pictures and nobody minded the rain, even though it came down hard and heavy! All of them raised their hands and prayed to accept Christ, although most of them acknowledged doing it before. Everyday as we left, the children would all crowd around the van, waving and saying ‘Moce’ (Mo-thay or Goodbye), then they would line up along the highway and continue waving as we pulled out. God’s love through us made an impact on the children of this village!
