As a regular Church activity during summer when children are not in their schools, the autonomous local church of Sto. Tomas in San Jose City, Nueva Ecija conducts Daily Vacation Bible School (DVBS) as part of its child evangelism program.
For this summer, the DVBS was held at the Sto. Tomas Church of Christ pastorate from April 9 to 13, 2012 with the theme "Servanthood". It was participated by 40 children in the vicinity, mostly farmers' children as the Pastorate is surrounded by rice and vegetable farms. Serving as DVBS teachers were the members of KFCI (Kids for Christ International)based in ICCM, Antipolo City, namely, Mark Anthony Tobias, Harold dela Cruz, Elizabeth Miralles and Jasmin Cielos, who are also Theology students of ICCM. Jonnamicah Torres, STCC-SS teacher for children also served as teacher.
Teaching methods include song learning, story-telling, puppet show, group dynamics and craft-making. Serving as DVBS mother-facilitators were the Church deaconesses Rose Falla and Imelda Salazar, while moms who feed the pupils as well as the teachers were Norma Sagun, Betty Pantanilla, Emma Flores, Sis. Anita, and Rosie Torres.
The STCC congregation sponsored the Bible school with donations from Danna-Rose Falla, Lota Anog, Med Bolivar and Ian Falla.
This DVBS is being rotated-held in the surrounding villages of the STCC where the needs for children evangelism is felt. For the last 2 years, it was held in Magtanggol and Caanawan. (JSF reports)
