DAY-1 March
22nd
GOD LISTENS

Praise be to God!
The day which
started off with
fine weather and the
grace of God
showering in
abundance, was
indeed one all would
forget with
difficulty. The
inaugural meeting,
which began a bit
late due to the
great number of
"God's dearest
people's"
registration,
started off with Mr.
Bennett Enose,
Director, Rainbow
V.B.S 2008 delivering a
speech which
explained the reason
for our presence
there. The aim was
explained and the
themes for each day
were briefed which
led to the theme
name:
Kingdom of the
Son: a Prayer
Safari. Blessings
were showered on the V B S by Rt. Rev. Dr.
K.G Daniel (Bishop
of the CSI East
Kerala Diocese)
through an
enlightening speech
through stories,
much to the delight
of the kids. He then
declared the VBS
open, shortly
followed by the
opening of the
website of the
Prayer Safari. Rev.
C.V. Mathew (Vicar
of Marthoma parish, Ahmadi),
Rev. Andrew
Thompson (Chaplain of
St. Paul's Anglican
Church) and Rev.
Jacob T
Abraham (Vicar of St
Paul's CSI Congregation, Ahmadi) blessed the
occasion with their
presence and
prayers. The
presence of Mrs.
Latha Ninan
(Headmistress
Marthoma Sunday
school Ahmadi) and
Mr. Chandy Abraham
(Headmaster St.
Peters C.S.I Sunday
school) was
also an
encouragement.
The worship session
followed the
inaugural function,
lead by Mr. Bobby
Kurien and Mrs. Annie Preetha. The worship
team consisting of
youngsters from
different age groups
put up a show worth
mention! The prayer
beat which upheld
the theme of the VBS
was enjoyed by young
and old alike. The
children, divided
into three different
categories according
to age groups, then
went on to their
different areas of
activity. Loud
shouts of joy could
be heard from the
play area, whereas
the shouting gave
way to concentrated
activity when it
came to the crafts,
and loud shouts of
praise unto the Lord
as the children
imbibed the lessons,
and learned the
Lord's prayer
through a different
perspective. All the
sessions added to
the children’s
enjoyment and
personal
involvement.
'The Kingdom of the
Son' volunteer team
worked away quietly
beside each person
who required help.
The teachers were
kept on their toes
all the time by the
"very active"
members of the
Kingdom of the
Son!!! Refreshments
followed and the day
came pleasantly to
an end with the
children being waved
goodbyes in their
respective busses,
asking away
impatiently when
they could
return!!!!. All
glory and praise to
the Lord Almighty,
who made this safari
possible for us. All
of us at the Safari
pray that as each
child moves out at
the end, we see them
off as active
members ready to
take on the world
with the message of
the Lord!!!!!!!!!

DAY-2 March
22nd
GOD
PROVIDES

As expected, the
children came in
full of energy after
Easter celebrations.
They were still in
the mood for
celebrations, so
what better place to
be at than the
Rainbow VBS!!!! .
Day two began with
songs of worship
unto the Lord. The
children jumped with
joy to the steps of
the prayer beat.
Their lithe bodies
swayed to the Safari
beats of “harambe"
(Get together) and
Namsisu Mungu kwa
(we praise God
for...) as they
shouted and thanked
God for loving,
listening and caring
for each of them.
Much as they liked
to sing and dance,
they moved with
fervor to their next
sessions. While the
tiny tots listened
to how the Lord fed
5000, the middlers
were happily
involved in
attaching eyes to
their 'bread man',
which reminded them
time again how God
provided for their
needs. The boys
painted the giraffe
with colours that
pleased their eyes,
while the girls
gleefully competed
on making their
giraffe better than
the ones their
friends had! Final
touches were done by
attaching the legs
to their works of
art. The Giraffe
brought to young
minds how God
provides for every
creature, how unique
each of His
creations is!
Outside, the usually
shy pre-teens were
running round chairs
each try to get to
empty ones as the
music stopped. They
took turns in
attending each
session with joy.
The Bible lesson
dealt with how the
Lord provides us
with our needs of
love, shelter,
safety, bread and
all we need. The
students listened
intently to how
Jesus worked
miracles when he fed
5000 with 5 loaves
of barley bread and
2 fish that
multiplied!!!
Volunteers worked on
their acting talents
as they enacted the
story. The sight of
the church was worth
beholding with
animals hanging from
the roof.
The day ended with
the children
learning in rhythm
how Jesus turned the
bread and fish from
5 and 2 to 500 and
200 and then again
to 5000 and 2000 and
the numbers kept
increasing. They
sang again the songs
that they had learnt
at the beginning. As
the day came to an
end, there were
shouts for still
more, but time was
indeed running out.
They moved out with
their bags and
surprise gifts,
their stickers of
animals and all that
they had received.
The thing that makes
the elders wonder is
how fast and
joyfully they listen
and accept the word
of Christ through
all they do here.
They are blessed and
through them the
elders are blessed
too. How great is
the Lord that he can
make such bundles of
joy who will one day
carry forward His
word unto the world
beyond!!!

DAY-3 March
24th
GOD
FORGIVES

Greetings to all in
the precious name of
our Lord and Saviour
Jesus Christ !
Praise God , our
Safari has completed
Day 3 ,the Zebra
safari!!
Our theme for today
was ‘GOD FORGIVES’
Today’s session
started off with
prayer by Bennett
followed by singing
. This is the most
enjoyable session
for all as we can
see the oneness in
spirit and worship.
Children and adults
enjoy the rhythmic
movements and
meaningful actions
choreographed to the
African beats. Songs
in Swahili like
Namsifu mungu kwa ..Harambe
praising God are a
big hit with all
present.
One can see the true
praise and joy in
worship in the
children with their
lively expressions
and actions .The
Word of God based
on FORGIVENESS was
given by Rev. C. V.
Mathew (vicar of Mar Thoma church,
Ahmadi.) through a
very meaningful but
simple story of two
children in a
family. The story
taught us the
importance of
confessing our
sins, so that we can
be free from the
slavery to sin.
The children then
dispersed into their
respective groups
and activities .
While the word of
God is being taught
in the sanctuary,
the craft session
goes on quietly in
the annex where
children use their
hands to colour, cut
and paste and make
interesting items.
The open air games
session helps
release their energy
through new games
everyday. Today’s
theme of God
forgiving us and
the need for us to
forgive others
were incorporated
into the various
activities. Light
refreshments were
served to all the
children . teachers
, volunteers and
staff.
The groups once
again gathered back
in the sanctuary
after all the
segments of
activities .
Testimonies by
children of answered
prayers were very
encouraging even to
the adults after
which Mr. Rennil,
our guest rendered a
solo leading to the
singing of ‘Jambo, Harambe, Lord’s
prayer amidst
shouts of joy ,
praise and
thanksgiving to our
King . Everyone
looked forward to
another exciting
Safari Day!!
