It's time to give a post about our theme for the Bible School we are planning for Nicaragua. El Ayudante director Bill asked us to please do something that helps build good character and leadership skills. We searched online and found blogs from other churches that have taken teams there and we were able to see that a lot of the obvious things had been done, perhaps even multiple times. So we were thinking and trying to come up with something that we felt had not been done. Bill also told us to "make it fun!" So in our searching, we came across a lesson that had already been translated into Spanish and we started thinking about what it taught and the more we thought, the more we liked it. So our theme was born.
Proverbs 6:6 "Consider the ants, you lazybones, learn from them and be wise". There is a lot of lesson in those simple words. So ants we are! And can we say how much fun we are having developing this lesson? We are all going to be ants, dressed in black pants and tshirts and black aprons. But there are all kinds of different ants, so Evelyn Leachman is our queen ant, Cissy Yarbrough is our soldier ant, Madge Burton is our fire ant, Keith Ward is our carpenter ant, Lisa Norrell is our crazy ant, Jenny Jenkins is our mama ant, Julie Downes is our Sugar ant, Angie Conway and Rowena Ward are our helper ants, Jean Turney is our Leaf Cutter ant, and Betty Corbin is our photographer ant (ok so we took a little poetic license with that last one ! ) and our wonderful ant narrator, Gale Walker.
We have an ant chant, ant games, ant songs, and ant crafts. When Bill said to make it fun, we have taken it to heart! Photos will follow soon and we look forward to sharing our ant stories with you!
