Beth and the others planned a kid&#8217;s festival with different games for them to play. They received tickets for memorizing verses and with each ticket they could play a game or at the end trade them in for candy. I think there were well over 50 kids and some of them had like 10 or 15 tickets. In all they had such a great time that they didn&#8217;t want to leave when service was over.\u00a0I am very thankful for my wife and all the other children&#8217;s ministry workers for their hard work to reach these children because we understand that they are the future of the church.\u00a0The interesting thing is that some of the ones who are helping now in the children&#8217;s ministry were just starting to come to church only a few years ago.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.operationbolivia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/02\/Fes.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft  wp-image-1470\" title=\"Fes\" src=\"http:\/\/www.operationbolivia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/02\/Fes-300x225.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"240\" height=\"180\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.operationbolivia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/02\/Fes-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.operationbolivia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/02\/Fes.jpg 400w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 240px) 100vw, 240px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.operationbolivia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/02\/Fes21.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone  wp-image-1473\" title=\"Fes2\" src=\"http:\/\/www.operationbolivia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/02\/Fes21-300x225.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"240\" height=\"180\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.operationbolivia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/02\/Fes21-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.operationbolivia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/02\/Fes21.jpg 400w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 240px) 100vw, 240px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This past week we had a special activity in Patch the Pirate our Wednesday night kid&#8217;s club.
