Welcome, teacher:
We thank God, who allows us to prepare the manual for Vacation Bible School teachers for the
third consecutive year.
The theme of this EBDV was chosen thinking about the emotional and spiritual needs of children
and adolescents, since they face various problems daily in their homes, schools and community.
Emotions are affective states that God has placed in us to react to certain circumstances and be
able to express states of mind; However, if God is not present in our lives, we will not be able to
channel these emotions which will turn into unhappiness and frustration.
Now I'm happy! It will teach children that, by encountering Jesus, they will receive emotional
healing, they will be able to control their emotions, as well as overcome and resolve any
difficulties. On this occasion, the stories of five biblical characters who found happiness in Jesus
were chosen:
1. The widow of Nain, whose pain Jesus changed into joy by resurrecting her only son.
2. The Samaritan woman, who had a great spiritual and emotional need, and found salvation
and true love in Jesus.
3. Nicodemus, a man whom religion failed to satisfy spiritually; however go, when he met Jesus
he found the truth he was looking for.
4. The woman of the issue of blood, destroyed economically, physically and emotionally; without
hope any ranza. Jesus healed and saved her.
5. Saul of Tarsus, the self-sufficient, fanatical and impulsive man whose supernatural encounter
with Jesus turned him into the great apostle Paul.
RESKTA2 is the motto for teenagers. Through these same stories, they will learn that Jesus can
rescue them from depression, from the loss of the pleasures of the world, from sexual immorality,
from false religions or ideologies, from disbelief, from hatred, from violence. They will know that
Christ has the power to help them in any difficult situation and give them a new, free and happy
life, RESCUED emotionally, physically and spiritually; to make them good men and women for
their family, church and society.
We put this material in your hands, hoping that it will be a tool for the edification and blessing of
many children and adolescents who have had to live through these times of moral and spiritual
decline. Therefore, your goal as a teacher is to guide them to a personal and wonderful experience
with our Lord Jesus Christ.
Our prayers, commitment and testimony will ensure that we can be an inspiration for children and
adolescents to value and put Christian principles into practice in their lives. God bless your
beautiful work and… go ahead!

The Lord is not oblivious to our circumstances or our condition. He wants to help us, free us, restore us, work
in our favor. This widow got a look from the master and his compassion because He helps all those who need
Him. The Lord told him: “Do not cry.” And Jesus wants to change our present affliction for his joy and
blessing. Maybe you have also had to cry about something, many have a mask of happiness, but inside your
heart is broken, because you are going through a very sad situation: the breakup of your home, financial
needs, the death or illness of someone very dear, a rape…
The Bible says: Blessed are those who mourn, for they will be comforted. When Jesus approached this
widow, he did so not only to offer comfort, but to provide a solution to her problem that apparently had no
solution; But, for God there is nothing difficult.
God shows his kindness according to our needs and comforts us in our afflictions. He is not a spectator of our
pain, but acts on our behalf if we ask him to; and even without us asking, as in the case of this woman. If only

Samaria ( Shomron in Hebrew) is a region located because of the miserable conditions in which they
on the western bank of the Jordan River, between lived. His victory gave rise to two kingdoms: Israel
Galilee and Judea, an inevitable place of passage in the north, with its capital in Shechem; and
for any Galilean who wished to move to Judah in the south, with its capital in Jerusalem.
Jerusalem, and vice versa, as shown in But in the year 110 BC. C., the king and priest of
Judea, John Hyrcanus I, conquered Idumea and
Samaria. The region was thus geographically
unified, but its marked ethnic, religious and
cultural divisions continued.
When the Samaritan woman came to Jacob's well
to draw water, she was a person without horizons
or objectives in her life; She was distraught, but
she was looking for happiness without finding it.
He went daily to the well to quench his thirst and
that of his people, but no matter how much they
drank, they became thirsty again, above all thirst
for peace and happiness.
This woman was unaware of her own personal
value and therefore chose a life of insecurity in
which none of her husbands had known how to
value her.
Due to the standards of that time, the Samaritan
had no cultural education and her reputation, with
as many husbands as she had had, was neither
the best nor the most edifying, even more so if we
take into account that she lived with a man who
was not her husband.

Today you are not here by chance, Jesus loves you and it is time for you to make a decision, follow the wrong
thoughts of the world and its modernity, or follow Jesus. This society and all its debauchery is going upside
down: families are being destroyed, parents separate, abandon their children, children are lost, sexual
debauchery is growing, modernity has brought some very useful advances, but in As for values and
principles, everything is being lost. Every day we see how man's rebellion towards God increases, they are
against what was established by God and that will not prosper.
Let us not follow the ways of this world, come to Jesus; just as the Samaritan woman finally found true love,
forgiveness and was rescued from emotional and spiritual failure; so Jesus wants to help you. Let's pray:
Lord, I recognize that the unbridled life that the world is leading cannot satisfy the needs of my soul and my
heart. I don't want to be like that woman who looked for happiness in one and the other; or that young man
who has had so many experiences that deviated from your will. I don't want to go after the perverted
ideologies that do so much harm to people and families. Oh, Jesus, I believe in you, I believe that you died for
me on the cross, forgive my sins, I give my life to you, Lord.

God does not want us to be simple religious people, God does not like religious people, those who go to
a church just to go or because they think it is “nice”, or to show off; and then they are on the street, in

perform a miracle in our lives.

that.
God wants to give us a new opportunity, a new life, forgive us, heal our hearts and make us new people;

Give each participant a sheet of paper and a pen.
Ask them to write on the paper their names and two questions they would like to ask one of their classmates.
Then tell them to make a paper airplane of their choice. If they don't know, teach them how to do it.
It is important that they launch the planes all at the same time. After they fall, they pick them up and throw
them again so that they mix around the classroom.
Then ask everyone to pick up a plane (not theirs), and since they wrote the name, they must find the owner
of that plane and ask him the two questions.
Then, each participant must introduce their partner, read the questions and the answers they gave.

Congratulate the groups for the work done and give points. Then comment: Now you know who Saul
was. He believed he was right, he even thought that by persecuting Christians he was pleasing God; I
was so wrong. Saul didn't listen to anyone, he thought he already knew everything; until one day
someone said to him: “ Hey! Get off your cloud, right? ”.
Everyone, absolutely everyone, makes mistakes sometimes. Possibly you think that some are against
you because they set certain rules for you or you believe that you are old enough to make your own
decisions and that no one should interfere in what you do. But that is not true, do not turn your back on

Then Saul got up from the ground, and opening his eyes, he saw no one; So they took him by the hand and brought
him into Damascus.
9
where he remained without sight for three days, and did not eat or drink.
10
There was then in Damascus a disciple named Ananias, to whom the Lord said in a vision: Ananias. And he
answered: Here I am, Lord.
15
The Lord said to him: Go, for this is a chosen instrument for me, to bear my name in the presence of the Gentiles, and
of kings, and of the children of Israel;
Descendant of the tribe of Benjamin. He was born in the year 5 in Tarsus, in the region of Cilicia, on the
southern coast of Asia Minor (modern Turkey). The fact of being born in Tarsus gave him the opportunity to
be in contact with one of the most advanced cultures of his time. Tarsus was a university city that stood out
for its culture and its school of philosophy.
According to Jewish custom, from the age of five he must have learned to read the Hebrew Bible. He had a
great command of the Greek language, which was current in Tarsus, and at the same time he displayed
his dialectical ability. He was from a wealthy family.
Saul's families were very strict in keeping Jewish traditions which remained linked to their homeland. For
this reason his parents sent him to Jerusalem for a period of training.
Then his parents decided that he would enter the school of Gamaliel, one of the most notable teachers the
Jews had ever had. There the young Saul's abilities developed amazingly and he soon began to stand out
from his peers. This is how Saul developed his knowledge of the Old Testament Scriptures.
Saul, like his father, had Roman citizenship, a great privilege in those days. He seemed to be very well
versed in Hellenic culture and thought.
Saul was trained in theology, philosophy, legal facts, linguistics and business, in addition, he spoke the
languages perfectly: Greek, Latin, Aramaic and Hebrew. He was a polyglot, that is, he spoke other
languages.
It was customary among the Jews that every young man, whatever profession he was going to follow, had
to learn some trade. "He who does not teach his son a trade is as if he taught him to be a thief," said the
ancient Jewish proverb. For this purpose Saul learned to make tents; which means either that he made
tents from canvas purchased for them, or, more likely, that he wove the canvas himself. Cilicia was known
for its woven goat hair fabrics, from which tents and travel blankets were made.

EXHIBIT )
Years later he returned to Jerusalem to settle there, the leaders of Judaism, impressed by his talent and
enthusiastic devotion to Judaism, called him to lead the opposition to Christianity. Which allowed him to
cast his vote against the followers of Jesus. Saul was a very prepared and respected man. This was the
reason why he made him act with authority. We can say that Saul boasted of himself and believed
himself superior to others because of the knowledge he had.
Saul immediately clashed with the Christians to the point that he came to hate the fact that they came to
the temple to preach their doctrine, and for several weeks he went there to refute their lies while the
hatred within him grew. One day, at the beginning of the year 33, he even incited the Jews who were in
the temple to expel the Christians from there, an act they carried out, causing the stoning and death of
Stephen; and several serious injuries in Santiago. James left Jerusalem while he recovered from his
wounds and the other disciples of Jesus waited for what would happen. Saul very much agreed with this
crime.
Saul was a devotee of Jewish law, and this was what sparked his tremendous hatred of Jesus Christ
and the early church. Saul felt insulted by the message of the followers of Christ, not because of the
claim that Jesus was the Messiah, but because it attributed to Jesus the role of Savior, thereby stripping
the law of any value in the world. purpose of salvation. Christianity affected all of Saul's Jewish training
and his studies with Gamaliel. The extermination of this sect became Paul's passion.
The Christians began to disperse in all directions and Saul obtained letters of introduction authorizing
him to persecute the Christians on the way to Damascus. Saul had prepared to go hunting for the
Christians, perhaps that night he did not sleep because he was planning how he would enter the city of
Damascus, and how he would locate the houses where the believers in Jesus lived. He had secret
information given to him by those who did not agree with the followers of Jesus
Saul was a man who did not like anyone to contradict him. He was very competitive and did not accept
failure or rejection. He was a man used to developing his own plans and strategies. Until that moment
Saul gloried in his strength, skill and everything he was and had done.
everything is darkness
People aimlessly go
The world traced a path
Full of bitterness and pain
// Who can rescue us? //
CHORUS
// It is Jesus who extends his hand
He is the path of life and truth
Gives value to our identity //
If we run to Him we will be…
