Last Day of VBS

Kyle Yates — Tue, 03 Aug 2010 12:15:51 +0000

It was the last day of VBS. All the kids at VBS had one more day of practice for the big Friday Night VBS Farewell Party where and friends came to watch and listen the kids dance and sing.

There were over 500 people in the audience. It was a good turnout and a great testimony of what the kids did and studied about during the week at VBS: God’s Love.

Here are some of the practice pictures during the daytime. More photos of the night event and Disneyland will be posted later tonight.

Another Fun Day at VBS

Today, Day 3 of VBS, was another fun time together with all the homestay students and VBS students and volunteer staff. The kids made crafts, one I also enjoyed doing and have not quite finished, sang songs, danced, listened to and discussed Bible stories, ate snacks, played games and ran around. Many students have made new friends. One little American boy said all the Japanese girls are his friends and wanted to get his picture taken with them. He talked to them for a while today and said “See you tomorrow” to each one individually. He was very cute!

2010 VBS Day 2

Today was day 2 of VBS. The kids worked on their songs and dances, listened to another Bible story, played games, ate snacks and then, afterwards, we went to the beach.

We had about 20 people there from the homestay: host families, kids and students. Those who didn’t mind the cold water tried learning to surf. Those who didn’t want to get wet or swim in the cold water played in the sand, talked or walked along the beach.

We had beautiful weather and lots of fun!

Today was the first day of VBS. All the students arrived early at the church and gathered in the sanctuary. The students sang songs and listened to their first story of the week, then we went to arts and crafts, to music and dance and then went up to our room and discussed the story. After discussing it for a while, we then went outside to have snacks and drinks and played some games.

Here’s a video of Noah and other Vacation Bible School kids doing the “Mission Is Possible” song and dance at Calvary Chapel of Oxnard VBS. There are no Japanese students in this video because I filmed Noah doing his song and dance.

Everyone taking a break at VBS. The girls didn’t know I was shooting video at first. They thought I was taking still photos. Once they found out I was shooting video, they shied away from the camera.
