 This is the week for the VBS 2024 and our VBS kit for 2024 is called Thanda Island. At our registration desk we've had a very busy week starting on Monday when we recorded about 594 children. On day two we recorded about 680 and today the numbers are increasing. But one good thing that we have found at our desk is that the number of non-adventist visitors that we have had has continually increased. We registered about 160 yesterday and today we are still calculating the numbers and expecting more. In this kit it provides for programs of a period of five days. There is Monday to Friday, coming Sabbath is the climax of the entire VBS, Vacation Bible School. We have various stations, we have Bible station, we have prayer station, we have craft station, we have health snack station, we have game station, we have music station where we learn, the kit has five songs but we will do minimum eleven songs. I am a volunteer in the lifeguard station, also known as music station. Here we teach the kids all the songs that you will be seeing this Sabbath. It has been an amazing experience, they are wonderful, willing to learn and we hope to have a wonderful time. Welcome to Suncastle Crafts, this is VBS 24 Thunder Island and in Suncastle Crafts we teach the kids how to create crafts that actually go in line with the lesson. Each craft is something that teaches the kids about acceptance, about forgiveness, about the love of God which is basically the whole theme about Thunder Island. The name of your best friends, all of the name of your best friends around here. Wow, good job, look at that. So each and every day we are learning something which teaches the kids about Jesus love for us, Jesus forgiveness for us, His acceptance for us, His value for us and that's what Thunder Island is all about. So every child needs to go home with a craft that is a reminder of that lesson for the kids. I have been the actual leader for mongos this VBS that they are eight year olds. So technically they are primary bee in our church and I've had the best experience with them. They are a very calm group of children, they don't disturb, they follow instructions. So I can say they have, they are very disciplined and I've had so much fun with them. So what is the reason for man about three prayers? What we do in this station is that we dive deep into prayer. Every day we look at various prayer points, we encourage the children to spend time alone with God in prayer. We have prayer points where children can come and thank God dedicate themselves, ask for forgiveness and ask for guidance. And we want to encourage you to make prayer your lifestyle even as you bring up the children and lead them heaven once. So thank you for joining us at Skuba Shack this week where every day is about Jesus and we always focus on prayer. For the preschoolers, our class is for between four years to five years. We are participating in all the stations, the Bible station, prayer station. Right now it's break time, they are having a snack, they have had a snack and now they are relaxing. Yes and then we will have our crafts and music after that. So far we are doing good. Welcome to the Coconut Cafe. My name is Slamak Mito and this year's VBS has started on a very good note. At the Coconut Fantasy Cafe we tend to use snacks to relate to the various topics that have been selected to teach our children. So we welcome them here, they come, they enjoy the snacks after the learning. And we believe that will actually stay to their minds as they live on trying to live by the standards that they've been taught. Hello everybody, welcome to the Coral Beach. Today we are going by a different name but always known as the Game Station. We've had so many activities from day one from Monday to today and we've had a bunch of activities. Because he made you perfect, he molded your face and he knew you in your mommy's room even before you were born. So when you go to the next station, as always remember, God values us so much. So much that he gave his most valuable thing in heaven to serve for you. We hope that you will join us next time and we are so excited as a team, Coral Beach. See you next time and have a blessed day. It's been a wonderful time. For this year we decided to use a lot of data analytics, driven decisions. For example we've been able to get statistics and use charts to give our decisions based on the number of visitors, number of children. So decisions are being made based on the information that comes from day to day. So one thing that we've learnt from this VBS data is power and we are glad that you're here. Thank you for supporting us, we look forward to see you in 2025. Remember, VBS 24 Tanda Island, where Jesus is always with me. Always relax. And how we pray that the message where we are saying because every day has a Bible verse, we have a Bible verse that is coming from John, the book of John chapter 13 verse 34 to 35. It is talking about the love of God and really loving one another. So we welcome each one of you for those parents or guardians or sponsors who are not able to be with us this time. We look forward to 2025, vacation Bible school, the rest the Lord will provide. Thank you so much. God bless you. Tanda Island, where Jesus is always with me. Amen.
