Children's Community Center

This past Sunday I was asked to go with the Zimmerman's to shoot photos of their ministry they have with the kids of Ho. They go each week and play games with them and then take them to a building they rent and teach them a Bible story. In this first image they are playing volley ball (sort of) with the older kids.


In this image they are playing some kind of game where the kids all jump rope at the same time.

After playing in the heat January Zimmerman is giving the little kids a drink of water.

These kids are supposed to run to the cone with a bean bag on their head and run around the orange cone and back to the line. When I knelt down to shoot the kids decided that I was the new cone and started running around me instead.

This girl got it right!

This is the small building that the team rents to teach the kids the Bible story. The building is about 12' x 12'. They are able to fit about 75 kids in at one time and 3 or 4 adults. Can anyone say crowded?

After the story the kids were given a coloring page and crayons to color it.

These boys wanted me to take their photo, so I did.

Well once again, I hope you enjoyed the photos.
