Saha Christian Suksa School: VBS Team

the choir welcoming the team

This week a team from Singapore came and set up what would be similar to a VBS at home. For 3 days they had each grade come in for an hour for singing, a game and a bible lesson.
The first day they were greeted/welcomed by the entire school with a special presentation by the school choir.
The first days lesson was about Jesus love for us and how that love washes away our sins. They had a bottle representing our hearts that had clear water in it. Then, they added lies, anger, and other things that separate us from God in the form of red colored water. The shade of the heart was by then a dark red. However, they had another cup of liquid that represented Jesus that was clear. When that liquid was added, the water became clear, washing all of our sins away. Then, after that if they added lies, anger, etc... our heart remained pure and clean.

The second day they taught about the prodigal son, and the third day they talked about how we are princes and princesses. At the end of the lesson they had a teacher stand at the front and a girl and a boy each had to come up and thank the teacher for something. I attended the 6th grade session and was the only teacher, so I received the thanks and the crown from them. It was precious, humbling, and a good reminder as to why I'm here.
They also had students pray a prayer to accept Jesus in their hearts. Most students were accepting of it, even many of the Buddhists. Groups like this coming over time are what makes this school different from the government schools. The students not only get weekly Christian lessons, weekly chapel services, and more than half of their teachers are Christian, there are also groups like this that come from time to time and preach the gospel in a way that the students can connect with and grasp easily. What a blessing.
