Day 2

Our day started at 7AM and we had a nice pancake breakfast with fruit and coffee.

 

We got started at the school just before 9AM. We divided the team into 2 separate teams to work with the younger children and the older children.

The team that worked with the younger children was able to present to 5 classrooms today. They did an interactive song named, “El Sapo” and a Bible story. The children learned a about Daniel and the lions den. The team also performed a puppet show, “Becoming a Christian”. The children then get a salvation bracelet and the beads on the bracelet each has their own significance. The children are given the opportunity to accept Christ during the explanations of the bead bracelet.

The team that worked with the older children worked with 5 classrooms too. The older children participated in an interactive game that teaches them the effects of drugs. After the game we give them a story about some teenagers that had a problem with alcohol and suffered some consequences. We also played a game that we call, “Field of Temptation” with the children. The game uses 10” X 12” pieces of paper and they are placed at randomly on the floor. We ask the children to name a sin to label each piece of paper. The children are then paired up and one of the children in the pair is blindfolded. The one that isn’t blindfolded guides them through the pieces of paper on the floor. The idea is that we need people in life to keep us from falling into temptation.

The final activity of the day is to work with classrooms on playing whiffle ball. During the time when we were paired up playing catch we asked the children to tell us what was the most important position was on the baseball team. After discussing with them that every player had an important role and they all needed each other, we talked about the church. The church also need to have people that are willing to participate, as that helps the church grow and bring more people to know Christ.  The other comment that we made was that we are all special in God’s eyes even when others say that are insignificant. Christ loves them and he has a plan for their lives.

After our ministry day, we went back to the hotel for a nice dinner. We concluded the evening with our devotions and the rain started to fall for the rest of the night.

Thanks for reading and keeping us in your prayers
