Theme: Home Planet – Caring for God’s Creation
Today, April 26, 2010 is the 1st day of our 5-day VBS in Santolan, Pasig City. This year’s theme will focus on caring for God’s creation and is centered on the passage found in Colossians 1:16 “All things were created by Him and for Him.” The theme for this year is very timely and applicable because the community have suffered so much from Typhoon Ondoy last October 2009. They’ve lost everything; they’ve lost their loved ones.
We are expecting 50 children with age ranging from 4 to 12 years old. The group will be divided into two: Planets Savers (ages 4-8) and Planet Pals (ages 9-12). We have 10 workers who signed up to be teachers and they will be called the Nature Guides. Support group such as those in-charge in Registration, Food, Venue, Music, etc will be called Assistant Nature Guides.
Zone 1 (or Day 1) will focus on “Knowing the Creator”, re-visiting the 1st Chapter of Genesis. This lesson will remind all of us that “God created the Heavens and the Earth”. Each day will end with a Life Verse (Memory Verse) that will serve as a reminder to them of the lessons taught for that day.
Zone 2 will talk about “Managing Wisely” the resources that God has given us taking from the lessons from the story of Joseph (“The Dreamer”) who managed wisely the Land of Egypt during the 7 years of abundance and 7 years of famine.
Zone 3 will teach us and the Planets Savers/Pals how to “Help the Needy”. Lessons from the famous story in the Bible “The Good Samaritan” will be shared to the children. “Blessed is He who is kind to the needy” (Proverbs 14:21b).
Zone 4 is all about “Living in Harmony” taking the story of “Isaac and Abimelech” from the Old Testament. The Lord has instructed us to love one another and live in harmony with each other. Furthermore, the Lord has said that we have to live in harmony, too with nature and all His creations. This can be shown by preserving, saving and caring for the tress, plants and animals.
The last day (Zone 5) will end with lessons from the Birth of Jesus Christ. “The Savior of the world has come” (Luke 2:1-20), let us all Honor Him and tell others about Him.
The group have prepared 4 songs entitled: Home Planet (Theme Song), Melody of Love, Psalm 47 and The God of Creation. We are all looking forward to the Graduation Day on Saturday, May 1 wherein our Planet Savers and Planet Pals will have short presentations of these songs with actions.
Every Planet Saver/Pal will receive a certificate and a “faith bracelet” to remind them of the gift of salvation that God has given us through His son, Jesus Christ and to share the same faith to others.
Please pray with us for the success of this activity, all for the Glory and Honor of Jesus Christ!
“Be still, and know that I am God” (Psalm 46:10)
After the effect of destructive Typhoon Ondoy, Santolan Outreach Ministry has gained momentum again in reaching out to the lost souls. 2010 has so much promises to claim from the Lord and Share the Gift, Share the Word Ministry is with them.
From January to March, we have continued with our Saturday Fellowship with the children (and Mothers). We have lost some, but God replaced and sent new children and new families to join the fellowship. Share Ministry has been providing teaching materials (including supplies) for the fellowship and a small amount for the snacks of the children every Saturday.
To invite more children to the Fellowship, end of April, beginning of May (April 26 – May 1, 2010) we have launched the Daily Vacation Bible Study (DVBS). We had over 50 children and 10 volunteer workers. Share Ministry provided teaching materials (and translating those from English to Tagalog), conducted the orientation for volunteer workers, and provided supplies & food for the 6-day activity.
We have drawn so much inspiration to this activity and we have promised the children to do the same in 2011. Furthermore, as a result of this activity, we have decided to make our Saturday Fellowship more structured. Themes and topics have been assigned every month or every quarter to fully make an impact to children.
The month of June is something to Praise God for. The Department of Social Welfare and Development recognized Share Ministry as one of its Resource Agencies. Together with this, at the start of School Year 2010-2011, we have provided 1 set of school uniform to 10 deserving elementart pupils who are part of the fellowship.
Last July 21-22, a volunteer Trainer conducted a training for our volunteer workers (mothers and youth) to equip them in teaching the children every Saturday. At least 3 mothers and 3 youth committed themselves to teach the children alternately. Thus this training to give them more confidence in teaching in a structured way.
During this time, we have also acquired new teaching materials based on the new structure we are following. The same training was re-echoed to the youth. Since August up to October, we had been teaching biblical values on TRUTH and HONESTY. On their graduation day last October 30, 2010, we were impressed and inspired by what the children had learned over the 3 months. We had small gifts for the children for a job well done. For the following months of November -January 2011 we will be teaching values on RESPECT & OBEDIENCE and after that follows lessons on SELF-DISCIPLINE & RESPONSIBILITY for the months of FEBRUARY-APRIL 2011.
Towards the end of the year, last December 18, Santolan Outreach Ministry celebrated its 4th year Anniversary, in support to this, Share Ministry shared gifts to children and families. The anniversary celebration was part of our Annual Thanksgiving.
We praise the Lord for the lives of the children, for their desire to know more about Him, for their families especially their parents who support their participation in every activity that we do.
For 2011, Share Ministry, by faith prays this prayer: “Oh that yoy would bless (us) indeed, and enlarge (our) territory, that Your hand would be with (us), and that You would keep (us) from evil, that (we) may not cause pain!” (1 Chronicles 4:9-10)
To God be the Glory, Forever! —
