This week at the Southwest Church Vacation Bible School entitled, Hero Headquarters, the 125 children participating in the evening activities are learning the importance of making a positive difference in the world. During the first night, the children learned the inspiring story (recorded in 2 Kings 5) of God healing Naaman from leprosy. Naaman, who was the army commander for the nation of Aram, was told by a young Jewish servant girl that the God of Israel could provide healing in his life. As Naaman pursued God’s direction in his life, he eventually experienced complete healing from his leprosy.
Throughout the evening the children were reminded through games, crafts, and even snack time, that they can make a difference in this world by trusting God and pointing others to Him! The memory verse for the evening was 1 Timothy 4:12, which emphatically states: Don't let anyone look down on you because you are young, but set an example for the believers in speech, in life, in love, in faith and in purity.
Personally, I was greatly encouraged by the humble and eager hearts of the children. They have already set an example for me!
