I'll set the stage for you: One day VBS (10 a.m.- 4 p.m.). Roughly 150 children total from the RLD and the Girls Home. No AC but fans (glorious fans).
Buses brought the children from the district and the Girls Home to our church. When they saw us, they extended their right hand for a clever Indian hand shake (don't worry, I'll teach you this hand shake some time) as smiles stretched across their faces. Throughout the songs, skits, and movie, the children were so attentive and well-behaved. They joyously listened, sang, and danced to the truth of God's love for them realized in Jesus. My team did a skit for Daniel in the Lion's Den (I was probably the sweatiest angel they've ever seen) and a memory verse.
A friend of mine mentioned that a day spent in a safe place with a good meal means so much to these children. Their light-filled faces confirmed the truth of that statement.
