Singing praises with the children

Singing praises is an aerobic exercise at Los Guido. When VIM teams are at the church, the children look forward to dropping by the church to sing (and dance) praises to God. Who needs physical education when you have singing at the church.?

Our team spent 3 working days at this church with each afternoon from 2:30 to about 4:00 doing activities with the neighborhood children. The singing begins and the kids come running. Some hear the music as they walk past on their way home from school. (The school is located right next door to the church and operates 3 shifts of classes with 650 kids 6 days each week.)

Our kids were sometimes hesitant to join in the singing (mainly a language problem). However, many times they were literally pulled into the dance weave and singing by a little one. How can you turn down the little hand that reaches out to you? It wasn't long before our kids had joined in and enjoyed bing part of the praises being expressed.
