VBS at Kisongo

The church of Christ in Kisongo (the town halfway between Monduli and Arusha, which also has the Andrew Connoly School of Preaching associated with Bear Valley) has quite a few children both who already attend there and in the neighbourhoods around it, so children’s activities and outreach have become an important part of their ministry.  They hold ‘Children’s Seminar’ which is similar to a one-day VBS as well as week-long VBS, which was going on this week. Tammy, Beth and I took the kids one day.

There were one hundred and twenty-five children there that night, and one of the missionaries who works there told us that they were up to one hundred and sixty by the last night.  It was beautiful to hear so many children singing and learning Bible stories.

The grass and sticks are on the floor because the lesson was something about birds and there was a nest-building competition.

Here's a video of the singing!
