The advertisements seemingly hadn’t worked. Just three children showed up for the first couple days of Maranatha Church’s Vacation Bible School.
Nitza Salazar, Washington Conference children’s ministry leader, and her teen leaders were discouraged. They started praying. Then they decided to knock on a few extra neighborhood doors.
Day 3 arrived and seven children showed up. The team kept praying.
Day 4 began and 21 children arrived. The team rejoiced!
“We saw God answer our prayers and offer us a boost of encouragement,” Salazar said.
