Time is a most prized commodity and wireless internet a rare commodity at City of Refuge for our Girlfriends Team.

Hard work is the routine for the entire Team whether leading VBS, painting a room, or helping to prepare meals. The payoff:

• The sounds of children’s voices wafting through the mountains singing “Jesus Is the Best Thing That Ever Happened to Me”
• Two adults standing guard at the bedroom of 4 young girls in an effort to “surprise” those girls with a room makeover done in vibrant pink and a beautiful blue with their own personalized pillowcase.
• Sharing community in the kitchen and dining area with some amazing women, Kim who inspires us all (City of Refuge director) and Norma (our cook who is always ready with a smile and awesome food too).

Four days down: two days of dynamic, boot scooting VBS; 3 rooms completed and children squealing with excitement at their new bedding; teenage girls proudly showing off their pedicures; and, new friendships forged between Texas women and Jamaican children.

Yes…Jesus is the BEST thing that has ever happened to us!
