What is Safari Expedition by CPH VBS?

Safari Expedition VBS Theme Overview

What We Love... Safari Expedition by CPH promises kids a wildly fun time, while teaching them a foundational truth about the nature of God: He gives good gifts. By the end of the week, kids will see that the gifts they love most and depend on in this world, like their family and belongings, are all from God. God provides through good gifts because He loves us.
The Setting... Transform your church into a wild safari filled with open land and exotic animals! Tall giraffes eating from trees, elephants drinking from watering holes, and vibrant pink flamingos are only a few of the sights kids should see at VBS.
The Lessons... Rooted in James 1:17, "Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father," each day at VBS, kids will learn that every good thing they have, like family, food, and salvation, is a gift from God. By studying key stories of God providing for Bible heroes like Elijah and Peter, kids will leave VBS understanding that God gives good gifts.
