"P" is for Preparation

As a team we really tried to practice and be prepared for the different ministries we participated in.

Even thought they had prepared it in Germany, the Liebenzell Impact team continued perfecting a "Crowd Catcher" which they used to introduce themselves. Each person had a short phrase with movements to tell something about him/herself. When one person went up, the other next person went down. It was very well-done; the crowds everywhere loved when they did that. In the picture you can see Monika, Manuel, Dave, Anette, Nico and Sarah. Missing from the picture is Chris; I cut him off. Sorry, Chris!

A popular mode of entertainment in Christian circles in Palau is "action songs." While a CD player booms a song, the group performs intricate actions to visualize the lyrics. As you might imagine, this takes quite a bit of time to prepare. The PIBC group taught one of their action songs, Casting Crowns' "Who Am I?" to the youth during camp. Subsequently, the youth presented it during a church service.

The PIBC team prepared a skit called "Baby Moses, Don't You Cry" for Children's Day on June 21. We had fun presenting it, and the children seemed to enjoy it. Percia played Moses' mother, Joel was Moses as a child, Marisol the Pharaoh's daughter, and Tanja performed as Cleo, the Princess' Servant.

Nico from the German team helped me with the handcraft each day. We tried to be as prepar ed as we could ahead of time to make it easier. Making a craft with kids in 15 minutes is not easy.
Elilai, Chris and I had the job of developing the method for teaching the Bible verse each day.
Joel, Elilai and Chris try to learn actions for a song based on John 3:16. They worked very well together.
