The first week we will stay at a Vaubanfort. For the actual VBS, the children will be divided into groups and taken from activity center to activity center. A man from the Viriginia group and my dad, Dr. Fred, will lead the Science class. I will tell the Bible stories. We are hoping to have a craft center, a sports time and to show the Jesus film. We will keep the children occupied from 9 am to 3 pm. Although the VBS is in English, we need to have a French translator with each class.
My students will be helpers and translators and , as you can see, there is lots to do! We would also like to put on a concert. This means learning some hymns and choruses in French. That will take practice. Thankfully, my students are musical!
For the second week we will stay at a Catholic retreat center and do the same VBS in the village of St. Paul de Vence.
Please be praying for the children who are to come to hear the gospel during 2 VBS sessions in France. We will be dividing the children up into 3 age groups for the VBS. The children will rotate throughout the day. First, meeting in the chapel for a welcome, then moving to their class rooms with their main Bible teacher and helper over each age group (Elephants, Lions,and Monkeys) We need a leader and a helper for each age group, and then a leader and a helper for each of the following activities: Sports, Music, Crafts, Snacks, bells, Movie Monitors (Science is covered the first week but will need an extra hand the second week) I know God has called and will equip each one of us to humbly serve Him in our service in France. Let me know where you would prefer to serve. Praying for you all.
