"SonTreasure Island"
Sun.Star Davao, April 26, 2008

“On this warm Caribbean island, there is treasure to be found. More precious than gold, more lasting than diamonds, it's the greatest treasure of all—God's love”.

The Davao Evangelical Church (DEC) recently held another successful Daily Vacation Bible School (DVBS) with the theme “SonTreasure Island” for almost 500 kids aged 4-12 years old.

Every summer, the DVBS is one of the most anticipated activities for children from various schools in the city with diverse religious backgrounds.

Past DVBS themes include “Treasures of the Nile” (2004); “Power Up” (2005); “Construction Zone” (2006); and “Kingdom of the Son-A Prayer Safari (2007).

These enjoyable and artistic courses have been taken from Gospel Light, a Christian publishing house in the U.S. which produces Christian literature like Sunday School and DVBS.

Majority of the volunteer teachers were church members who willingly gave their time and talents serving the Lord. They came from different backgrounds and professions such as bankers, teachers, doctors, housewives, businessmen, college and high school students, among others.

For five fun days, little treasure seekers learned how Jesus' life illustrated God's love as described in 1 Corinthians 13. Lively songs, imaginative craft activities, exhilarating games and Bible stories all carried the vibrant Caribbean theme.

Through their thrilling Caribbean adventures, children discovered that ‘God’s Love is Giving’, ‘God’s Love is Kind’, ‘God’s Love is Caring’, God’s Love is Forgiving’, and ‘God’s Love is Forever’.

The DEC will continue its “SonTreasure Island” theme during Sunday school activities from 8:30-9:30 a.m. until May 25, 2008. All kids are welcome to attend.

For more information, please contact DEC’s Ms. Evelyn Cang or Mr. Aris Blas at tel. nos. 2213115 and 2276421.
