Vacation Bible Study at Kanzi was a beautiful five-day deep dive into the Word of God, centred on one powerful truth; what it means to be in Christ. From the very first day, over one hundred children filled the compound with laughter, music, and excitement, and the numbers only grew as the week went on.
Each morning began with praise and worship that set the tone for the day. Little voices sang boldly, hands clapped in rhythm, and hearts opened as the children leaned into every moment. The MCs, Dan Pollo and Fidel Omondi, kept the energy high with electrifying hype dance sessions that had everyone on their feet and fully engaged.
The Scripture of the Day guided everything that followed. Children then broke off into their age groups, where the Word came alive through colouring, object lessons, demonstrations, and conversations. Teaching was simple, practical, and deeply engaging. Memory verses were not just learned but spoken with confidence, and prayer moments were taken seriously, with many children eager to participate.
One of the most beautiful moments came during a lesson on Jesus giving life. The teacher used a simple balloon illustration; one empty and sad, the other full and smiling. During discussion time, a young girl explained the lesson in her own words, describing the empty balloon as a heart without Jesus and the full balloon as a heart filled with Him. At that moment, it was clear that the message had landed.
Every afternoon ended with more dancing, laughter, and a hot lunch provided by Kanzi, a time for rest, joy, and connection. The compound buzzed with energy as friendships formed, questions were asked, and confidence grew day by day.
Friday’s grand finale was the perfect crown to the week. The children arrived dressed in costumes and ready to perform. With bright smiles and bold moves, they took the stage and celebrated all they had learned through dance and expression, filling the compound with cheers and applause.
Behind every smile was a team that served with heart. Led by Eugene Muganda and supported by Amos Walela, Emmanuel Mukuya, Caroline Akinyi, Martha Ayuma, Nyalego, Jared Osale, Tr Terry, Tr Harriet, Dan Pollo, and Fidel Omondi, together with a devoted kitchen team, VBS at Kanzi became a week of love in action.
VBS at Kanzi was a week full of life, truth, and transformation. Children didn’t just hear about Jesus, they encountered Him. They learned who they are in Christ, and they discovered that faith is something to be lived with joy.
