8 Trail Tip On Day 1 during KidVid Cinema, kid will receive a Watch For God Writband that they ll wear all week. Thee cool colored band remind kid to keep their eye open for thing that God i doing all around them. God Sighting God han t retired, you know. He a buy now a he ever been. But until you ee that with your own eye, it tough to have a vibrant faith. God can eem ditant or imperonal. God i active in our everyday live we jut have to learn to look. We have to make it a habit to keep an eye out for the daily overwhelming evidence that God i doing great thing all around u. At Everet VBS, you ll encourage kid and adult to look for God Sighting everyday clue that God i preent, paionate, and powerful. A God Sighting i imply an acknowledgment that God ha done omething. It giving God credit where credit i due. It developing a God-focued view and a grateful heart. Kid and adult will dicover that they can ee God in thing like Scripture, people, circumtance, and nature. A participant even prechooler make God Sighting part of everyday life, their faith will grow. Why? Becaue they ll actually ee God at work. Not becaue he uddenly hown up, but becaue they finally have eye to ee and at lat, they re looking. On Day 1, kid learn about God Sighting at Summit Celebration. Then beginning on Day 2 at Bae Camp Sing & Play, Crew will circle up o each peron can tell one way they ve een evidence of God. While kid hare how they ve een God in action, they ll pa around a God Sighting Flag that ha the day Bible vere on it. (Be prepared to hear amazing inight from kid!) Then a Crew member will tape the God Sighting Flag to the line on the God Sighting Pole in the Bae Camp Sing & Play area. On Day 2, Crew will hang the flag with the Day 1 vere and talk about the Day 1 Bible Point. On Day 3, they'll hang the Day 2 flag; on Day 4, the Day 3 flag; and on Day 5, Crew will hang the flag for both Day 4 and 5. All week, kid will love eeing the colorful flag flying high to how the way God i at work in their live and in the world!

9 Building Your God Sighting Pole To help kid ee God at work in their live, prepare God Sighting Pole to place in the Bae Camp Sing & Play area. Here how we made our! 1. Cut each PVC pipe down to 8 feet. (Many building upply center will cut the pipe for you.) 2. Spray paint the pole black, if deired. 3. At the top of each pole, drill a mall hole about 2 inche from one end, and crew in the crew eye. 4. Then on half of the pole, add a cleat. Hold the cleat about midway on the pole, and make a pencil mark where the crew will go. Predrill the hole, and crew the cleat on. All of the pole will have a crew eye at the top, and half of the pole will have a cleat at the middle. 5. Ue clamp to attach a God Sighting Pole to a chair or to each end of a pew. The pole with cleat hould all be on the ame end of each row. 6. Tightly tie twine or jute to the crew eye on the pole without cleat. Run the twine to the oppoite pole, and lip it through the crew eye. Pull the line fairly taut but not o tight a to bend the pole. Meaure out at leat 6 feet of additional twine, and cut. 7. Tie a waher to the end of the twine to keep it from lipping through the crew eye. Wrap the extra line around the cleat to keep the line taut. 8. To make ure Crew attach the God Sighting Flag on the twine between the pole, tape a mall piece of curling ribbon to the twine where it lip through the crew eye. When it time for Crew to add their flag, they will unwrap the line from the cleat and lower the line. When the new flag are taped in place, they can pull the line taut and wrap the cord around the cleat again. For each et of pole, you ll need two 1-inch diameter PVC pipe (PVC pipe i old in 10-foot length) black pray paint (optional) two crew eye one cord cleat (include crew) one ½-inch waher Other upplie: hackaw or other PVC pipe cutter tape meaure pencil drill twine or jute two large clamp hort piece of curling ribbon tape

10 Operation Kid-to-Kid For jut a minute, put yourelf in the hoe of an 8-year old Thai child. You ve heard about thi incredible, powerful, real God a God who love you enough to give up hi own Son a a acrifice for you! A pator or parent or miionary give you a gift an entire book that filled with torie, encouragement, and word of love from God. Wow! Then you look at the book, heavy in your hand. It more than 1,000 page. The type i tiny. The page thin and fragile. There are no picture, no color. Suddenly, a relationhip with God eem a little harder. A little le kid-friendly. A little le relevant to you. Sadly, children Bible are a rarity throughout much of the world. The cot i high, and availability i low. Everet VBS i on a miion to change that! For jut $4, a child in Thailand can have a colorful, kid-friendly, eye-catching, age-appropriate New Tetament of hi or her own, written in the Thai language! Thi Bible wa deigned by an international team of expert, who et out to make God Word a relevant, dynamic, and engaging experience for today kid around the world. r avel Tip T Some member of our VBS team had the opportunity to travel throughout Thailand and had the privilege of meeting many Chritian kid. Each child had a mall, pocket-ized adult Bible. Not one child had a colorful, engaging Bible that wa eay to read. Upon our return, our global contact confirmed that thi i pretty typical and that pator and children volunteer are deperate for vibrant, eye-catching children Bible. On Day 1 during Imagination Station, kid will each receive an Operation Kid-to-Kid Elephant Bank. Kid can take the bank home to decorate and ue during the week to collect money to help children in Thailand receive thee kid-friendly New Tetament. Anything from a handful of coin to a check i welcome! When kid bring in their donation, they ll drop them in the deignated bucket in the Imagination Station room. Each day you ll remind kid of their pecial miion. At the end of the week, the Imagination Station Leader will give the donation to you o you can let kid know how many Bible their donation will upply. How cool i that?

11 Bible Story: God provide for Elijah. Bible Point: (1 King 17) God ha the power to provide. Key Vere: And God will generouly provide all you need. DAY 1 (2 Corinthian 9:8) Did You Know? Elijah wa a prophet in Irael during the rule of King Ahab, whoe reign i placed around B.C. Elijah called for people, pecifically the ruler of Irael and Judah, to put their faith in God rather than the fale god Baal. Elijah name mean my God i Yahweh. Yahweh, meaning Lord, i the Hebrew word for God. Another way to phrae it i the Lord i my God. Even Elijah name reminded God people to repent and once again worhip God. Elijah pread hi meage about God throughout the capital and major citie of the kingdom. The Bible ay Elijah came from a land eat of the Jordan River, from a place called Gilead. Thi mean that the urban people Elijah poke to probably looked down on him, regarding him a a imple, uneducated country man. What a great reminder that God can ue anybody to do hi work! Baal wa known a the god of lightning and torm; he wa believed to have control over the fertility of the land and crop. God ent a great drought over the land by withholding the rain, howing King Ahab and the people of Irael that Baal had no power. Why It Matter Although mot kid at your VBS probably have a place to leep and food to eat, they till have other real need maybe a child parent lot hi or her job, or perhap a child feel friendle at chool. Help children undertand that God i bigger than any of thoe need, and he ha the power to provide. Give kid the reaurance that they can hold on to God mighty power to provide for their need.

28 DAY 2 Bible Story: Bible Point: God peak to Elijah. God ha the power to comfort. (1 King 19) Key Vere: He comfort u in all our trouble o that we can comfort other. (2 Corinthian 1:4) Did You Know? A Elijah fled from King Ahab and hi wife, Jezebel, Elijah hit one of the lowet point in hi life he even told God he had had enough and aked God to end hi life! No wonder Elijah deperately needed God comfort. Jezebel, the powerful queen of Irael, wanted to kill him; he wa the only prophet in Irael erving God, a Jezebel tried to have all the other prophet of God killed, and the few who were left were in hiding; and even after God had demontrated hi great power, Jezebel till wouldn t worhip God. Before Elijah began hi 40-day trek to Mount Sinai, he topped to ret under a broom tree. The broom tree i common in thi deert wilderne (modern-day outhern Paletine), and it would have been the only hrub big enough to offer Elijah any hade. The broom tree can grow to be 10 feet high. Intead of appearing in the mighty wind, earthquake, or fire, God preented himelf in a gentle whiper. Why? God had jut hown hi great power to the people of Irael by withholding the rain to create a ignificant drought and by ending down fire to conume the acrifice offered by Elijah at Mount Carmel (1 King 18). But God revealed that he i more than jut a powerful God who can control the element of nature he i a God who i alway preent, ometime revealed in overwhelmingly atounding way and ometime in the quiet. Why It Matter Our world i an imperfect place, and it filled with thing that make kid cared or ad or fearful hurtful word from a child at chool, a frightening torm, a fight between parent. Kid find comfort in thing like a warm hug, an encouraging word, or a cozy tuffed animal, but nothing compare to the comfort of knowing God i alway by their ide they are never alone! Today at VBS hare with kid the encouraging meage of God peace and hi ability to comfort u no matter what we might face in life.

45 Bible Story: God heal Naaman. Bible Point: Key Vere: God ha the power to heal. He heal the brokenhearted and bandage their wound. (2 King 5) DAY 3 (Palm 147:3) Did You Know? Naaman i decribed in 2 King 5:1 a having leproy. Mot Bible cholar agree there are two general type of leproy decribed throughout Scripture. The firt type i known today a Hanen dieae and i what mot people aociate with the word leproy a contagiou dieae that difigure the body and lead to an early death. The other reference to leproy in Scripture decribe more general kin dieae that, while ignificant, were le evere condition although there wa till a ocial tigma connected with them. Becaue Naaman condition i not decribed a being contagiou, he probably had thi econd, le evere type of leproy. To ait Naaman in eeking a cure for hi leproy, the king of Aram (Syria) ent Naaman with an introduction letter and gift to preent to the king of Irael. Thee gift included 750 pound of ilver and 150 pound of gold. That amount i atounding! Today that many pound of ilver and gold would be worth around three-quarter of a billion dollar! Second King 5:17 ay that Naaman took two load of earth (oil) back home with him after he had been healed. In ancient Middle-Eatern culture, the identity of a god wa often aociated with the land where they were worhiped. Naaman took the oil back to Aram a a tangible reminder of what God had done for him; Naaman mot likely would have ued the oil to build an altar to God.

60 DAY 4 Bible Story: Bible Point: Jeu die on a cro to take away our in, then come back to life. God ha the power to forgive. Key Vere: You are a God of forgivene. (Nehemiah 9:17) (Luke 22:31 24:12) Did You Know? The Roman reerved crucifixion a cruel, painful, and low way to die for criminal without Roman citizenhip. Uually only lave, rebel, and the wort political offender received uch a grueome entence. Thi horrible public punihment wa meant to deter crime throughout the empire. After being cruelly beaten, Jeu wa forced by guard to carry one of the beam of the cro, a common practice in Bible time. Jeu carried thi beam about a third of a mile, and the wood beam could have weighed a much a 125 pound. Luke i the only book of the Gopel that tell about Jeu forgiving the thief. Jeu tell the thief, I aure you, today you will be with me in paradie (Luke 23:43). The word paradie i only ued three time in the New Tetament. (It alo in 2 Corinthian 12:4 and Revelation 2:7). Some cholar believe the word refer to a place of ret between death and reurrection. When Jeu died on the cro, the curtain in the inner anctuary of the Temple wa torn in two. Thi inner pace, the Holy of Holie, wa the earthly dwelling place of God preence. God ordained that only the high priet could go pat thi curtain once a year. The torn curtain revealed that now, becaue of Jeu acrifice, anyone who put their faith in Jeu ha acce to God. Why It Matter Jeu lived a perfect life and wa wrongly put to death. Everyone who witneed Jeu death knew a great injutice had taken place. Jeu didn t deerve to die, but he till forgave the people who crucified him! Today help kid undertand that becaue of Jeu acrifice on the cro, we have been forgiven for our in too. Share with kid the wonderful new that there i nothing they can do to make God love them le and nothing they can do that God won t forgive them for. God i able to forgive u an infinite amount of time he i the ultimate forgiver!
