Goodbye Tennessee!

During the 3rd week of July,a group of 20 Americans from West Dyersberg Church of Christ came to visit the Sacramento congregation. Christopher Fry was a former Youth Minister at this congregation. They held a 3 day VBS with an orphanage that is near the church. Ara Pyahu, which is Guarani for 'A New Begining',is an orphanage that we visit weekly.
The group also handed out flyers at locals near and around the church building.
The theme of day 1 was, Rahab and the Spies, Day 2: 12 Spies of Cannan, Day 3: Walls of Jerico.
There was craft time, snack time, game time, skit time, and story time! They also held a teachers luncheon. All the members of the congregation who have helped or taught bible class were honored with a certificate and a nice lunch.
Several of our Interns returned home. Many of them from Freed-Hardeman.
Tracy Mitchell, Bonny Moore, Jordan Braswell returned to the states in mid July after spending 6 weeks here with us. They taught english and participated in all our events. Clay Smith, who will begin studies at Lipscomb this fall, returned to the states the first week of August after his 2 month stay.
For those who did not know. The Asuncion team here at the Sacramento Congregation is a Freed-Hardeman team out of Hendersonville, TN.
