VBS




There were two groups that did VBS's in a church where Amber attends. The picture of the kids with BK crowns is from the first group. I got to help a lot with translating. They acted out the story of David and Goliath and had 3 stations afterwards of activities for the kids. They performed the skit twice, each time for a group of about 100 kids. It was crazy. The first time we split the kids into 2 groups, sent half outside and the other half stayed in to do the stations. But after splitting them up into 3 small groups, there were still 40 kids left over without anything to do. So I told the leaders they could go ahead and hand out stuffed animals they'd brought. Baaaaaad idea! Some kids had none, some had 3. And out of nowhere comes a group of about 20 adult women, only some with their babies, wanting toys. Finally we had to shut down that operation and send all of them home.
The other two pictures are of the other group doing their VBS. They had more experience and it went much better. They acted out the story of Jesus sleeping on the boat with his disciples in a storm and then calming the storm. So since there was wind in the story, one of the crafts was to make a windsock. But one girl decided to wear hers as a hat instead. I thought it was pretty creative!
