Journey with us as we travel to Egypt in Answers in Genesis VBS thriller,
The Egypt File: Decoding the Mystery of Life.
Amidst this exotic location and ancient civilization, we will tackle some of the most mysterious and intriguing questions known to man regarding human life:
· Did we come from ape-men?
· Did the parts of our bodies just "happen", or were they specially designed?
· Is all human life valuable?
· Do our lives have a purpose?
This fun-filled journey begins the minute you walk through the doors and experience the timeless wonders of ancient Egypt! Each action-packed day begins with the "Meet at the Museum Opening Assembly", a high energy gathering complete with wacky intros, lively songs, a missions moment, a Design Time, and prayer.
Then it's off to visit through FIVE fun sites:
· Dig into God's Word and uncover eternal truths at the DIG SITE.
· Check out the potter, weaver, and other artisans at the CRAFT MARKET.
· Enjoy a taste of Egypt at the SNACK OASIS.
· Experience snake pits, Nile crocodiles, and more at the SUNSATIONAL GAMES.
· Enjoy a journey into Egypt through singalong songs at the TREASURE TUNES.

Kids, before we begin to DECODE THE MYSTERY let us tell you a little about our mission! Not only are we going to discover answers to some of life's questions but we are also going to help our very own MISSIONARY ANGIE COLLENS by raising funds to help her be able to translate God's Word for people who have never heard or read the Bible. Angie Collens works with Wickliffe Bible Translators http://www.wycliffe.org/ whose goal is to translate God's Word for people in countries who have never had the Bible. We will also be hearing from Angie via video throughout the week. So bring your dollars, nickels, pennies, quarters and dimes and let's work together to help boys and girls get the Bible into their hands so that they can learn the answers to the MYSTERIES OF LIFE just like you!
