Our First Vacation Bible School in Northeast Brazil

Vacation Bible School
Sister Alvear asked me to post this for her here as she is not feeling well today.

Sister Amy

According to official government statistics, 1000 children die from hunger and malnutrition each day in Brazil. So working with children is very important in our country.

October in Brazil we celebrate Children’s day at our church. We give out little presents candies sometimes make cakes etc. It is a very exciting time of the year for our children.
This year Sister Amy Santos and I have begun planning something very special that will not only be for our children but for families in general.
Sister Amy directed a few years back a vacation Bible school at her home church in the states, called Holy land Adventure Galilee by the Sea. We have decided to do this to enrich our children’s and people’s Bible knowledge. As usual I am writing for your help but am not writing for money. Some of you may have done this before at Sunday school or Vacation Bible School. Sister Amy is going to copy the things we need and paste them here and if in your Old Sunday school material you would happen to have any of the followering crafts we would deeply appreciate your help. We are going to try to make this a type evangelization to our whole village.

Blessings to all you folks who help us carry the load...Without your help we could not do what we do in missions...
Thank you very much.

Dear Friends,

Below is a list of some of the things that we are needing for our first ever Vacation Bible School. We have ordered just the starter kit and the costume patterns. We are planning on doing some of the crafts on our own. We want to know if there would be any of you that your church is doing the VBS and if you would be willing to donate your left over materials. We are not having our program until October and I know most churches in the States have theirs during the summer months.

This is just a starter list:

MASKING TAPE
MARBLES
TENNIS BALLS
PVC BOWS AND ARROWS
SILLY PUTTY
RAINBOW GLASSES
PENCILS
PAINTBRUSHES (WATERPAINT)
BROWN WATER COLOR PAINTS
WHITE BIRTHDAY CANDLES
MARKERS
DUCT TAPE
RESEALABLE PLASTIC BAGS
FISH-SHAPED CRACKERS
500 FEET OF COTTON STRING
SCISSORS
LOTS OF MENS HANKERCHIEFS TO MAKE TRIBAL BANDANAS
WOOD GLUE

I was going to ask Sis Alvear if she received the ink I sent her, and ask again for ink to be sent.

Do you have a supplier on the Web in Brazil that would ship to you like Amazon does here?

I have some VBS material if you are interested, PM me.

[Sis Santos]

I will check and see about a supplyer online. But ink is a lot more expensive here.

What vbs material do you have, you can pm me with the info if you want?

[Sis Santos]

I have checked online and it looks like mrinkman.com will deliver printer ink internationally. Sister Alvear may be in the States in about a month, if you send them to her home address, she will be able to bring them back to her. Some sellers on ebay also ship internationally.
