Hi mom. Today, my group visited a school in Sabana Perdida just over an hour away from SCORE. Once we got there, we separated the kids in half and did crafts and Vacation Bible School programs with the two groups. We did this for one group of kids in the morning and another in the afternoon. I was apart of the Vacation Bible School group which consisted of skits, kid-friendly songs, worship songs, and a testimony. Since there was a large chunk of time allotted to do VBS, we got to play games with the kids once the programs were over.
The most remarkable moment for me, where I really saw God at work, was when there was no scheduled program going on. Once we had finished the first VBS program of the day, we were struggling to interact with the kids and play with them due to the language barrier. We decided to play some English worship songs with hand motions and hopefully the kids would catch on. We started playing the songs “Lord I Lift Your Name on High” and “Every Move I Make” and to our amazement, the kids started singing the songs in Spanish! It was incredible to hear worship taking place simultaneously in two different languages. It was a stunning realization of God’s omnipresence and that the God we worship in Ohio is the same God worshipped in the Dominican Republic.
