This week the children learned how each of the five Baobab Blast Daily Themes—Trust, Love, Follow, Care, and Share—connects to the overarching theme of community. Throughout the week, kids received a consistent message of God’s unconditional love and were encouraged to spread the Word of God—both in and out of Baobab Blast.

The interconnectedness of the theme in this year’s program and activities made it easy for the children to celebrate our shared faith and how all of God’s family unites under one Tree of Life!  Our shared work also reminded us of how our faith is part of who we are and how we act in the world. The Daily Themes helped bridge the Bible stories to everyday life.

Thank you for your trust in us, your support of the ministry and most, for your prayers throughout the week. It has been an honor and privilege to work with your children this week.

In fact, it has been a BAOBAB BLAST!

Christopher, Sara, Phyllis, and Randy (your VBS Coordinators)
