VBS MISSION OF THE WEEK: QUEBEC’S CHILDREN! The Missionaries: David and Kristy Kelly have four children and serve at the Sherbrooke campus of Word of Life (Parole de Vie) Bible Institute in French-speaking Quebec. Quebec is known as the “largest unreached
people group in North America”! They teach Bible classes as well as French to those desiring to serve in the mission field. The Project: Many have grown up not going to church and don’t know who Jesus is. Word of Life organizes summer camps for local children to come to learn about Jesus, hear the gospel message and, of course, have fun. The Numbers: Cost for 1 Child to go to camp: $150.00.

It would be great if we could have all our attenders in there, whether you have been coming here 6 months or 60+ years. Send photos to email@danvillefirstbaptist.org or text them to Rachel by Sept 24th. Along with your photo, please send any updated information you would like included in the directory. Need help?
