Day 3 in Africa! Lions and Giraffes and Ostriches, oh my!

Today at Bible Boot Camp we focused on "TRUST."  Our memory verse for the day was "When I am afraid I will trust in you." Psalm 56:3. This verse was key to our introduction to the story of Daniel in the lion's den.

The children arrived late today because of the rainy weather but were excited, as usual, to learn, play and interact with us. Today was a bit challenging because of the weather, we had to stay inside with the children but they did their best with being indoors all day.

In craft class, Joanne continued helping the children to build their tool belt and they wrote "trust" today on their stones and made lion puppets. At story time, Laura and Tre led a game of trust before telling the story of Daniel and the lion's den. The children were so excited to act out the story! In music, Jeremy continues to introduce new songs to the children which they catch on to quickly. Adam had a challenging day leading recreation indoors but he stepped up to the challenge and the children enjoyed the games they were able to play inside!

We enjoyed interacting with the children very much today! We were sad to leave them a little early but had to make it to the SAFARI! The team was excited to hit the game drive! Once we arrived, we had a chance to interact with cheetahs! Everyone got a chance to touch the cheetah which was really exciting! We saw giraffes, ostriches, zebras, wildebeest, beautiful colorful birds, rhinos and empalas. The most terrifyingly exhilarating experience was the lion's cage! The lions literally came up to our land rover. We all survived! :-)
