Holiday Club 2013

Jesus Is My Superhero!!

As Nathan would say... "Done and dusted!"


2013 Holiday Club was planned well, executed with excellence, and was a success!

Staff Orientation

Joining the YFC staff and local High School volunteers, 10 young men and women from Operation Mobilization, and 9 Ikageng volunteers (SA and international volunteers on the team that works the Cyara and L'Abri YFC camps) gave us the manpower needed to share our Superhero - Jesus with children in the Knysna area.

Staff Orientation lunch

Superhero Lois fit 10 children from Hlalane in her car... (don't tell the traffic officers!)

Immanuel Ministries brought 2 taxi's full from Oupad every day

 (I am thankful they pre-registered them before loading the taxi!).

After registration, every day started with Praise and Worship...

"Jesus, You're My Superhero.. my best friend!"

Dee Olivier, Theuns Visser and Anke Tiemann led with enthusiasm and spirit (Holy Spirit)!

The 'superhero' of the day was shared through skits and a short message:

• Jesus = Power of Love
• Gideon = Power of obedience
• Joseph = Power of forgiveness
• Esther = Power of courage
• Samuel = Power to hear and serve God faithfully

Then the children split into small groups to memorize a Scripture verse and enjoy a small snack.

The final time was divided up between games and sports on the field 

and making a craft

Every day was a step of faith as we relied on the Lord to sort out the weather... sometimes He wasn't clear whether it would rain or not... Day 2 was moment by moment changes of plans as the sun came out, then hid behind rain clouds... then came out again.  

Day 4 started with a rainbow and we knew the Lord was in control!!

The rain didn't keep the children from coming... even on the worst weather day 74 children.  On Wednesday one boy brought 7 friends so that he would win a soccer ball... the best part of that story is that they continued to come the rest of the week!  Usually numbers dwindle on the last day (because families leave town for a holiday trip) but Friday exceeded all expectations with 129 children.  220 different children heard the Good News of Jesus power over sin and given an opportunity to accept Him as Lord and Saviour.
