The Final Day of Bible Club

What a thrilling three days! Each day the momentum built with Saturday being the climax. Special guests, The Staddon family, joined us and so enhanced the climax to even greater levels.
Beginning with prayer requests and prayer Joshua introduced Saturday’s club. Next came a powerful demonstration on the importance of obeying even when it’s difficult. Esther, Daniel Staddon, and Mark performed a skit to help illustrate this important truth.
Daniel and Sarah shared the importance of Loving God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your strength and how this is the means to true obedience towards all authorities.
Through the fascinating
avenue of a chalk talk, Jonathan Staddon shared on the importance of gravity and how it is a law which cannot be changed and will be obeyed. In telling the story of Moses receiving the 10 Commandments, Jonathan went on further to explain that there are other laws God created which we have a choice to obey. He shared powerful testimonies of the rewards that come through obeying our authorities and the consequences of disobeying.
Michael Staddon and Joshua gave some motivating stretches:
The Teaching time concluded with the missionary story by Adam. The children were listening eagerly to a truly fascinating story of a translator – Yoseb who translated the English Bible into the Tibetan language.
After a final prayer we all headed out for an exhilarating 7 part obstacle course:
The Lord truly blessed the entire day. But there was one particular highlight which truly inspired all of us teachers.
It reminded us of the need to continue in the paths of righteousness and furthermore impressed upon us how great a God we serve.
Hi Guys! Great report. The children and I really enjoyed it. We would love to hear about the highlight but the link wasn’t working. We are so encouraged by the work the Lord is doing in your family. Thank you for the reports!

Great Report Matthew!! God truly blessed these three days!
I really wish I could have been there to help. It reminds me of the VBS I helped with in México. Thanks for sharing!
Praise the Lord!
What a great time of ministering. Thank you all for your faithfulness and for sharing how the Lord is working.
