| Children's Sunday School Camp 2014 |
Some
of you may have read our blog
Milestone of Discipleship that
told the story about a young girl named Susie.
She was the first girl to attend the Sunday School that we started when
we first arrived in Vanuatu in 2003. It
is a great thrill to see the children growing up in the church and beginning to
participate in ministry as they mature in their relationship with Christ!
Susie
and Rona are two of those “children” who took part in a children’s day camp in
April. This was the first time that the
Sunday School teachers planned and conducted a camp for the children of the
Nazarene churches in Port Vila. Sylvia
helped to guide the teachers as they chose the theme, materials, and activities
for the camp. She also helped them to
develop a budget and plan for the financing.
The “bottom line” figure seemed impossible, but working together they
found ways to meet the need.

Over
85 children plus 18 adults gathered at the Scripture Union campsite on Pango
Point from the five Nazarene
Sunday Schools in Port Vila for a fun day of worship, learning, and games. The children learned about King David when he was a boy and how God used him to save the nation of Israel. Three of the Sunday School teachers taught the lessons. We had some fun games and even made a simple craft. Susie and Rona’s part in the program was to
present a puppet skit. The children
listened and watched with amazement as the two puppets, Abu Man and Rachel,
sang and talked and taught the children about God’s plan of salvation.

We praise the Lord for kids like Susie and
Rona who are becoming Christlike disciples who make disciples!

| Anna was able to participate in the camp too! It made her smile! |

| The children had a chance to go to the beach to collect 5 small stones. |
