Klymer here!
I’m a spectacular snow leopard! God gave me just the right stuff to keep me warm and protected on high,
snowy mountaintops. God provided me with snowshoes (paws that are big and wide like snowshoes), a
blanket (a huge, furry tail that acts like one), and clothes that blend right in (so I can catch dinner).
I’ll remind kids that God has the power to provide!
I can really jump, more than 6 times the length of my body. For a human kid, that might be like jumping 24
feet! Give it a try. How far can you jump?
Everest Service Project
Mount Everest is located in Nepal. An earthquake with an estimated magnitude of 7.8 shook Nepal on April 25 near its
capital, Kathmandu. Sections of the city’s historic center lie in rubble. More than 7,000 people died and thousands more
are injured. It is estimated that 2.8 million Nepalese are displaced and 190,000 houses destroyed. On May 12, just a little
more than two weeks later, a second major earthquake measuring 7.3 magnitude hit Nepal, with its epicenter approximately
40 miles from Kathmandu.
Lutheran Disaster Response is committed to walking with our brothers and sisters in Nepal, as rescue efforts and
assessments continue.
How the Children of VBS Can Help!
1.
Pray for people affected by the earthquake and its aftershocks, especially as they grieve the loss of loved ones and
property. Pray for the Lutheran World Relief emergency teams on the ground, who are standing with people and
communities affected.
2. We are asking the VBS children to bring their coins to church starting on Tuesday. When they drop coins in the
“Prayers for Nepal” jar they will get a boot print sticker to put on the climbing trail going up Mount Everest. Lutheran
Disaster Response is actively providing shelter, clean water, food, sanitation, medical care, and other emergency
supplies. Your monetary gifts are needed now to help those impacted by the quake rebuild their lives and livelihoods.
