VBS 2008

The Theme is 'Outrigger Island'.
Psalm 86:11 Teach me your way, O LORD, and I will walk in your truth; give me an undivided heart, that I may fear your name.

Day One. Monday the 4th
Kuya Jireh picked me and Kristine up. We then arrived at Sonrise Christian School at 7AM! We waited for an hour to enter the room. We sang our theme song, then entered class. We all took a trust walk to the grass and then we play HYEAH! We read Exodus 6:6-8, 12:31-40, 13:17-18, 14:5-7, 10:16,21-22. and learned about Moses, the Israelites, and how Moses parted the red sea. The israelites were slaves for the egyptians and they were soon free running away. They reach the red sea and complain. Moses spilts it and they walk through to get to the Promise Land. Once there, they complain on food and they recieve bread and thank the Lord. Our memory verse was exodus 6:7 I will take you as my people, and I will be your God. Then you shall know that I am the Lord your God who brings you out from under the burdens of the egyptians. Kuya Jigger brought me home, and Kristine and melissa came over too!


Day Two. Tuesday the 5th
We played a game where we used water balloons and we had to toss it to a person and we had to say something in the alphabet that would have to do with the topic. Then we played bang. Luke 2:1-12, 25-35, 41-52 We learned about Christmas and that it should ultimately be about Jesus, who was born to die for our sins. The angels and Simeon rejoiced. Our memory verse was Luke 2:29-30 Lord now you are letting your servant depart in peace, according to your word, for my eyes have seen your salvation. Ate Penny took me home! And I fell asleep with Kristine on the phone watching the secret life of the american teenager.


Day three. Wednesday the 6th
Kristine, Lidia, and I did the pledges. We played bang, then we played a trust fall. You stand onto a table and say your fear, then you say, "But I trust my friends to catch me when i fall" I fell almost to the floor, but saved! We threw water balloons to the fifth and sixth graders. We learned the most important part of the Gospel. Mark 15:21-16:7. Jesus was crucified, was dead, was buried, and rose from the dead. We must trust Jesus because he was scurged, mocked, humiliated, and accused unjustly. We then wrote on a card our reflection and sins, then pinned them onto a large wooden cross. Our memory verse was 2 Corinthians 5:21 For He made Him who knew no sin to be sin for us, that we might become the righteousness of God in Him.

Day four. Thursday the 7th
We played the game where you toss water balloons to your partner and we would have to step back everytime its catched. Then, we played scatter! We learned about Jeremiah 36: Jehoiakim burns Jeremiah's Scroll. God commands Jeremiah to tell the people of Judah that there will be disaster, but Jeremiah is banned and tells Barauch to do it. The bible is from God because it lasts, it makes men angry, and the bible says so in 2 Timothy 3:16 which was our memory verse, All scrupture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for instruction in righteousness. We threw water balloons to the junior high kids! I went to Ate Penny's house for a little while, then Melissa and I went with Ate Helen to pick up RJ. We went to Kuya Ian's house. We played nintendo, and i watched Jason and Chloe play pool. Then we all went outside to play on the grass, and Kuya Ian taught us a routine for Forever by Chris Brown


Day Five. Friday the 8th. Graduation
We played the dance off game where for our team we would say "We are number four number four number four, we are number four where group number three!" dancing to a certain move. It was so intense that it was a tie between group four and three! We learned about the Good Samaritan in Luke 10:25-37. A samaritan is a jew and a gentile, and that is considered not good. But the samaritan has compassion for him unlike the priest or levite. The moral is that everyone is your neighbor. The one who proved to be the neighbor, is the one who showed him mercy. Kuya Ian gave us some applications. 1, give to those in need. 2, dont discriminate. 3, let my actions match my passion. 4, dont wait for others, do first. 5, spread the Gospel. Our memory verse was Luke 10:36-37 "So which of these three do you think was neighbor to him who fell among the theives?" And he said,"He who showed mercy on him." Then Jesus said to him,"Go and do likewise."
The war was on! as soon as the highschool walked out, all the kids ganged up on us threw water balloons and squirted us with their huge water guns! We couldnt fight back because all of our balloons were popped so no one would use it, and we only had the small guns where you have to refill it every two seconds.
I have successfully participated in Outrigger Island, Living God's Unshakeable Truth at Christian Fellowship Bible Church.
