This 2018, my home church Jesus is Lord Church-Mangaldan conducted VBS with its theme "Back to Jerusalem" (in accordance with the Church Strengthening Ministries Publishing's VBS) with its main verse "Remember the great things he has done for you: I Samuel 12:24b," Our church lately conducted their first VBS mission at Barangay Salay, Mangaldan, Pangasinan. And will be conducting our second and third VBS mission at Barangay Anolid and Maasin respectively.
THIS IS HOW OUR VBS WORKS:
The church's program have 5 "Vistas" or lessons that are conducted for 3 consecutive days :
Children participating here are categorized into 3 groups: Nomads, for beginners; Pilgrims, for Children 1 (composed of primary elementary kids); Migrants, for Children 2 (mostly composed of intermediate elementary kids and some Grade 7 students).
MY PERSONAL EXPERIENCE AND OPINION
I applied to become a volunteer here in VBS. When the first day came, I was invited by our VBS Chairwoman, Mrs. Anna Liza Urbano, to become one of the speaker of VBS, teaching about Vista 5 (Resurrection and Ascension).
I was just shocked even though I actually stood in the church's pulpit for 2 times because I am more experienced when it comes to teaching theology and the bible to adults and teenagers. When it was my time, I was nervously speaking the Gospel to them and can't explain well to them what I am talking about. I am just translating it.
But I gave them a lesson: That while they are young, they should fight the good fight of faith and have hope to Jesus Christ. They shouldn't conform to this world but focus to God. They shouldn't give up to problems and temptations but carry his yoke for he will give you rest. Maybe I didn't gave too much justice to what I taught but I gave them a lesson that they would cherish it forever.
