VBS Training

Today we went to the Harrell's church to meet with some of their Sunday school teachers and also with some teachers from nearby churches.

Ryan had a lesson for everyone focusing on "Train up a child in the way he should go; even when he is old he will not depart from it." (Proverbs 22:6 ESV). He did a great job and it was interesting to hear the translation into Portuguese.

Lisa, Melissa, Ginger led most of the conversations on how to teach young children and specific teaching modalities.

We were able to use the two lessons we plan on teaching, creation/fall and John 3:16.

For John 3:16 we did a song, and also a story through hand gestures.

For creation/fall, we had a drawing illustration by me, Melissa did a visual aid for the days of creation and also telling the story through hand gestures.

For each lesson we showed them multiple ways to teach the same thing and encourage them to use their gifts to make learning fun for the children.

For lunch we had a traditional meal with rice, beans and salad. Ron may have chipped a tooth on a small rock in his rice.

After lunch, Ginger and Connie led a discussion on how to talk to a child who wants to make a decision for Christ and also shared their own testimonies. They went over John 3:16 and also the Roman road. Brian continued the teaching and had everyone participate in quoting the scriptures.

John 3:16
Romans 3:23
Romans 6:23
Romans 5:8
Romans 10:9

Tomorrow Joseph will preach in their Sunday morning worship service. Please pray for him as his message will be translated in both Portuguese and also Makhuwa.
