VBS Day 2



Above: Dezső starting off the morning with an overview of what the kids could look forward to today.





Above: Erika taught today’s theme, “God’s love toward us.” After the kids shouted out various responses to Erika’s question about sin, she reinforced their answers visually by placing them on the white board. She explained that Jesus’ death on the cross was the greatest expression of love and the only way that we could be saved from our sins. She then transferred the sins from the boy and girl on the white board to the cross reinforcing the truth that Jesus paid the price for all of them.

Above: Miki reported that his small group was able to get into deeper conversation once again. Miki highlighted the reality of God’s desire to reveal Himself to each one of them. Just as many of them chat online with friends, Miki said that God has provided his own thoughts and answers to our questions in His Word.





Above: Erika and Brenda’s small group tucked away in the trees. Erika reported that she led the kids in a prayer of salvation at the end of class. All of the kids repeated the prayer, but only God knows the number that truly understood and put their faith in Jesus Christ as their Lord and Savior.

Another group leader asked her kids what they thought about the morning teaching. The majority said the visual of seeing all the sins placed on the cross made an impact. We praise God for signs of not just hearing, but understanding what is being presented from multiple angles each day.





Above: Eszti’s small group. Eszti reported that when she began teaching about prayer the majority of the kids in her small group began talking about meditation and other new age rituals. It was amazing and sad to see that they knew more about these than actual prayer to God our Father. It is our hope and desire that God use this camp to turn them away from such deception and help them enter a personal relationship with Jesus, the Son of God.

Above: Dezső and Józsi having a mini jam session at free time. Józsi is the big brother of Zsófi who was saved at English Camp this year. We’re thankful for Józsi who has volunteered to help at camp by staying overnight at the camp grounds to guard all of our equipment. We’re thankful for opportunity for him to hear the gospel once again and for the opportunities to reach out to him throughout this camp.



Above: Merci is one of our older kids who is from the town of Heréd. For those of you who follow our blog, you know that God has opened up doors in Heréd for us to do evangelistic outreaches over the past year and half. This open door came through Merci’s mother! Merci has a reputation at our camps to be a bit of a trouble maker, but has shown a bit of change this year. It was encouraging to see that Merci was deeply touched by today’s final teaching that came in the form of story telling about how God values us.







Above: Sharon leading today’s craft time. In an answer to prayer, Bence (pictured above) had a much better day today. I saw him with new friends throughout the day and he just seemed to be enjoying himself more. Praise God for helping him find his place in camp.
