A Promise of God’s Love
Over spring break, the team hosted VBS. Our theme was Water. Of course, we told the story of Noah and the rainbow. As each group of kids walked into the tiny little makeshift classroom, we narrated the story of God’s love for humanity, His sadness at sin, and His faithfulness to Noah and his family. The end of the story brought many smiles and a question to point to Christ.
“Did you know that the rainbow is a promise from God to us?”
Many kids didn’t know.
We explained that God promised He would never again destroy the earth with water and that the rainbow points us to Jesus, God’s provision for our salvation.
The last day we spent in the village there were scattered showers. On the bus ride back we were met with this gorgeous double rainbow, the perfect end to a wonderful week.
Looking back through all my pictures, I can see the promise of the rainbow woven through every smile and silly face. I can see the promise of the faithfulness of God’s work in the small rural village of El Progresso
