Over 80 kids and 20 adults got together on April 16^th   to discover who did it? What they did? and Why they did it.?  They looked for clues and gathered evidence as they made their way from house to house and interrogated Rahab, Achan, Jairus’ daughter, and an eyewitness to the feeding of the 5000.

 

     They also participated in games like footprint follow, jump and crawl, tent search, finger print match, cliff edge, sand pit search, skip, duck and roll, and reach for it. At the tent search game they were instructed to run to the tent, take a look inside and come back for one of their team members. That team member then stayed in the tent while the second member went back for someone else. This continued until all teammates were in the tent. They were then told to find the envelope with their team number on it and return to the starting line. Here they proceeded to match the missionaries with the country in which they serve. At other games the kids collected puzzle pieces that they had to put together. The puzzles were of different parts of the world with all countries named but one. They had to guess the name of the missing country and attribute it to one of the Good News Club missionaries.

     A special visit was made by Peter, one of Jesus disciples who portrayed through drama what happened the night of the Passover meal. He told the whole ugly story of his denial of Jesus, and how he swore that though all the rest fall away, he would not. He told of how Jesus was crucified, died, and was buried and that He rose again and now lives in Heaven with Father God, preparing a place for those who choose to follow Him.

    In the end they discovered the “who” of who did it was Jesus and that he died on the cross for each and everyone of them because He loves them.

Thank you for stopping by and leaving an encouraging comment. You blessed me today.

What a splendid idea!
They all looked like they were having a blast and absolutely spellbound!
Praise the Lord for creativity!
Because of Jesus, Bobbie
