New York - VBS and the Beach

"And he [Jesus] said to them, “Follow me, and I will make you fishers of men.” - Matthew 4:19 (ESV)

Our team joined the Adamson's at the beach yesterday for a day of sand castle building, body surfing and rest. The beach was full of families enjoying the 4th of July. We were able to spend time with the Adamson's and also enjoy time together as a team.

The ocean is so big and powerful. Looking on to God's creation reminds me of places in scripture where we see Gods promises, majesty and love for His creation.

Psalm 103:12: as far as the east is from the west, so far does he remove our transgressions from us.
Romans 8:38-39: For I am sure that neither death nor life, nor angels nor rulers, nor things present nor things to come, nor powers, nor height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God in Christ Jesus our Lord.

Of course, the whole reason we came to NYC anyways was to host VBS for New Song of Hope. Our last night of VBS went great! We sang songs of God's love for us, read scripture, played games and spoke about Jesus death, burial and resurrection and the hope we can have in Jesus Christ.

Oh, and we celebrated a special birthday. :)

1 more day left. Eager to see where God moves and how we can be a part. Keep praying for salvation among the nations here in NYC.
