But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes on you; and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the ends of the earth.
Acts 1:8
The Judea Project was the following week after VBS. Our kids (and teenagers) went from VBS to another week packed with ministry. This is the 4th Judea Project that Ryan and I have done, but this one was different in that it there was a morning, afternoon, and evening outreach. (In the past, we've just done the morning and afternoon.) It made for LONG days for Ryan and myself with the kids. Each afternoon during the week we did a Backyard Bible Club in a local apartment complex. Josiah, Aedan, and Mercy participated each afternoon in the BBC. It was awesome to see Josiah and Aedan within different teaching groups (taught by the teenagers) throughout the week. Many of the lessons we used were the same ones (with some editing) that we used on a Samaria Project in 2004. Other activities that were done throughout the week were prayer walking, a light bulb outreach (going door-to-door and giving free lightbulbs~who doesn't need a lightbulb?), cooking dinner at the local rescue mission, surveying the community, a talents outreach, and a block party Friday night at the the same apartment complex where we did the Backyard Bible Club.
