Team Chile poured it's all into our last full day of VBS (tomorrow are the closing ceremonies). We all agree that it will be hard to leave our new young friends and we hope we've planted some seeds for God to water and grow. Once again we had a beautiful authentic Chilean lunch. We then met with the youth leaders and discussed their vision and traded ideas for the growing youth ministry. We jumped into the van and headed back to Vina Del Mar for some pan dulce from the local Pasteleria and some last minute shopping. We are back in Quilpue and having another authentic Chilean dinner with Mayonesa! We are heading back to our Host families early tonight (9:30 ish) so we can get a good night's sleep for tomorrow's closing and prison visit. God is indeed good! Keep us in your prayers!

Hi,
I just want to thank West Valley for loaning us this incredible team. There is truly a "before and after" this trip because of you. You have impactected lives of 100+ kids, you have changed the lives of the people you housed with, you have created a lasting impact on 200 prisoners, you have revolutionized our church, you have inspired our leadership to take on this city... all I can say is thank you. And one more thing, please keep coming back, keep praying for us and talk to whoever will listen about a city in South America called Quilpue. Jesus is up to something here, thanks for listening to His call and steping up.
Josh.
