What an awesome privilege it is to partner with the VOV church and Pastor Jose Duarte in ministering to this community and the approximately 1000 people who live here.

Each week on Sundays and Wednesday, children (and some adults) receive a hot, nutritious meal made and distributed by women of the church. On Wednesdays after lunch Bible class is full speed ahead! Children come to do crafts and then learn a scripture verse and participate in a Bible story. We are beyond excited about what God is currently doing and what He is going to do in the future.

Each week attendance is taken and on average, we have 60-80 children come.

Two times a year, children have the opportunity to say all the verses they have learned during that period (usually 5 verses). The first time we did this, 6 children got to pick a "mega-prize". The second time, is was 13 children. This last time, is was 21 children!

Here are the verses the children will be learning in 2025!
