Every month the youth of Talisay, Minglanilla, Naga, and Toledo get together to enjoy a time of devotion, fellowship, and fun. The youth of these four churches share a special bond where they look forward to getting together every month. This past Sunday was no different.
No ReCharge would not be complete without a fun filled game. Because our Amazing Race had been such a hit in the past, Minglanilla asked Gepher and I to come up with the activity. We had some big expectations to meet...but we delivered with another home run!
Remheart used the month of March as his inspiration for a wonderful lesson on persistence and marching for Christ. The kids participated in a Race which included decoding the word "Persistence", putting a Bible verse in order, and participating in a challenge that required teamwork and persistence to complete. The teens worked so well as a team to complete the Race. These young people are the future of the churches in Cebu. It is so wonderful and encouraging to see them learning scripture and carrying it in their heart. God is definitely at work in the lives of these young people.
Filipinos have two loves: texting with their cell phone and taking pictures. These two loves became the perfect marriage when put together for the Camera Scavenger Hunt. The teens were broken into groups where they were given a list of different items to find or services to perform. Some of the things the teens had to do were to spell a word using their bodies as letters or to drive their team in a "sikad-sikad". We not only asked them to perform team building activities but also acts of service, such as reading the Bible to someone or helping a stranger with an act of kindness. With each item they earned points and the team with the greatest number of points won.
Laughter was heard all over the Elementary School yard as the teams hunted for as many points as possible. Everyone enjoyed building stronger relationships with one another as they were persistent to finish the tasks.
As you can tell from the picture below, everyone (including Gepher) had a fabulous time! I have a feeling this will not be the last Scavenger Hunt the south of Cebu sees.
