VBS Care Center - Day 1

-
Our VBS theme is ADRA Adventures.  If you are unfamiliar with ADRA, it stands for Adventist Disaster and Relief Agency.  It helps to bring relief in many forms to people around the world.  The kids will learn about countries (as well as what those counties might be lacking), a Bible lesson, sing songs, hear stories, eat a snack, and instead of a regular craft this year, we have the Care Center.  I'm in charge of that.  The goal is to make outreach and caring a reality in the lives of these children.  I looked for ideas that they could actually see the results of this week.  Here is the first of what the Lord gave me:

A Caring Box.
The kids were suppose to think of a friend who was not at VBS. Then they were to assemble this little box for that friend and take it to them tomorrow.  It shows friendship and encourages giving.  The box also has a VBS invitation so just maybe more kids will show up as a result of this outreach. 

The container is a little snack box from Dollar Tree.  It is filled with a Primary Treasure tract, vbs invitation, stickers, an eraser, raisins, bubbles, a balloon, and a little card that says at the bottom "Choose one thing and share it with someone." 

They colored the balloons on the card.

Then they decorated the top with stickers.  They took them home tonight.  We'll see what happens with them.  :)

4th of July Health Booth

Our theme was the Abundant Life and we had tables about physical, mental, and spiritual health at the Curtis 4th of July festivities. In the mental health area we had literature and activities that would benefit people's mental health. A balloon pop where they could write their worries, stresses, and challenges and then pop the balloon, a sudoku puzzle, stickers, bubbles, stress relieving activities and lots of reading material. These bubbles were quite a draw! And once we started handing them out to kids instead of just leaving them on the table, we were able to talk with lots more people because we could share a bag of literature with the parents as well.  Best strategy tip: Reach the kids and you'll get the adults too! In the spiritual health area we had a jeopardy style game that they could answer questions from that would give them points to enter their name in multiple times (depending on their points) for a drawing. They could leave prayer requests and there was lots of

Be Ready to Share

I had been praying for divine appointments on my trip out to see Chaeli and back. I always want to be able to share hope, encouragement, and Jesus if there's someone who needs to hear So I left on this trip ready to share with people about Health, family values, and Jesus love! On my flight back home, I was reading a small book called Darkness Before Dawn. I happened to be in a chapter that had a picture of Jesus coming back to get us. It was full of angels and it caught the attention of one of the flight attendants as she was serving drinks. She said, " Are you reading about angels?" I told her that I was and shared a little bit about the book. She was intrigued that it talked about how Jesus was going to come back and what the second coming is going to be like based on what the Bible says. We talked a little bit about her background and how she's lost her mom who really loved angels and about how she believes it's not just politics going awry, but th
