La Escuelita Biblica de Verano

Templo Corona de Gloria, our Hispanic congregation in Phoenix, Ariz., ministered to about 45 kids during the church's Vacation Bible School over a ten-day period last summer.

Parents were invited on Sunday evening for an awards service. Margarita Estrada, wife of Pastor Angel Estrada, gave a message about Jesus, wrapping an evangelistic appeal into a Bible lesson. Afterwards, a number of parents inquired about the church and when services were held.

Some of the children still attend the church, which is what they were aiming for. Margarita says, "The Lord really blessed us, and supplied every need, like food and refreshments. Most of all, the Lord gave us the opportunity to minister to the children's lives in such a way that we later saw the results of this work. I thank God for all that he did in this VBS. Corona de Gloria is trying to reach children for the Kingdom of God."
