PASADENA--Children attending Vacation Bible School Aug. 14 to 19 contributed more than $200, enough for the Bengali Evangelical Association to buy almost six goats for people in Bangladesh.
The Vacation Bible School was sponsored by NewLife Fellowship for children in kindergarten through sixth grade. During the five days children learned songs, played games and learned God's plan for them. They considered these questions: 1) Why are we here? 2) Why do bad things happen? 3) What is God like? 4) Why did Jesus have to die? and 5) What do I do now?
Vacation Bible School started with 35 children but by the fifth day 60 children were in attendance.
