VBS 2008

In the second week of July, 7th through 11th, we held our VBS and one at Free Trinity Navajo Mission. The missionaries there are Rev. & Sis. Dennis Gardner. We had theirs at 10:00 in the morning and ours at 2:00 in the afternoon. That kept us hopping, then in the evening we prepared for the next day.
Our Giant - had a new name each day

Our theme was, "Campsites of Victory." Overcoming giants in our lives. We studied the life of Joshua and the conquest of Canaan.

Our Campsite

Monday and Tuesday was the conquering of Jericho and remembering how the the giant "Fear" caused the Israelites to wander in the Wilderness 40 yrs. and the report of the 2 spies Rahab hid and helped to escape.
Achan's hidden goods revealed

Wednesday was about Achan's sin and the defeat at Ai because of the giant "Rebellion."
Achan and his family stoned (with the help of the kids)

Thursday reminded us about the giant "Self Sufficiency" when Joshua relied on his own "wisdom" and made the alliance with the Gibeonites.

Friday we saw Caleb at 80 yrs old telling Joshua, "Give me those mountains!" Those mountains full of giants and walled cities. Then the death of Joshua and his challenge that is with us today - Choose you this day...

This "Giant" got wrapped around the back seat of the van. Becky Plummer, the secretary of Northwest Indian Bible School, Alberton Montana, helped us out this year. We could not have done it on our own. A Special thanks to Becky, NIBS, and Sanders Family!
