VBS at the Cowboy Church, Powell, Wyoming

Heading to Powell, Wyoming!

On July 2nd we loaded up for a road trip to Powell, Wyoming. We didn't get very far before a tire blew on our trailer! After a short detour and a new tire we were on our way to help the Heart Mountain Cowboy Church with their first Vacation Bible School. Pastor Michael & Leah McKnight head up the cowboy church.

This is the barn the Cowboy Church meets in and where we held their VBS. Team members are hanging up a mural as part of the decorations.






After decorating the barn and making sure the horses were all in their stables we prayed for the children that would be coming to VBS. Horses were made with love by Shari Hermes.







VBS was scheduled for all week. Monday, came and no children arrived. We did not give up hope, we prayed. Tuesday, still no children arrived so we spent the afternoon walking through neighborhoods. We hanged door hangers with invitations on over 200 doors. We tried not to get discouraged. We knew the Lord had a plan and we were there for a reason.



Wednesday came and so did the children!




This is Anna Marie in Mission FireFly Cavern. She taught the children about missions.



The children are getting their horses ready to do a barrel race!



Pastor Lary is engaged in a cowboy conversation with a little boy.




Pastor Michael presenting the Gospel to the two older children. Praise the Lord! They both accepted Christ!


It was a wonderful week with the children and their families. There is nothing better than to be able to teach about our Lord and to watch a child's heart come alive. As always we always get so much more out of than what we put into it.

Before leaving Wyoming, we got the chance to visit Yellowstone National Park. Pastor Jim was our tourguide and he did a wonderful job! We all enjoyed seeing God's creation.



Here is one of God's creation. We got the unique opportunity to see a bison close up! As you see Pastor Jim in the picture, you can see just how close we were. It was amazing!

Here is Ol' Faithful. It stays true to it's name. What an awesome sight and only the Lord could have created this marvel.
