Blazing Arrows
Welcome to Blazing Arrows. This time we're visiting
Jakomäki School. What are we doing here Meri?
The school invited us here.
We're going to dance, share about Jesus and pray here.
During the first hour all the 1st to 3rd grades are coming.
Then in the second hour 4th to 6th grades.
Riika, how have we prepared for today?
A month ago on the camp, we all listened to God
and asked Him what He wanted to do here.
Since then we're been preparing
and now we're still going to pray together before starting.
Lord bless this visit to Jakomäki school and help it
to be according to Your will.
Lord let Your peace rest in the Hall.
Thank You Jesus that we can be here
to tell the pupils about You.
Jesus, I ask that You are with us
and that You fill us with Your Spirit.
Let Your spirit touch these children.
Bless our time here. Father please touch the children.
Lord please do what You want in all these children.
Jesus, I ask that all the pupils,
You want to reach, come to watch today.
Lord we bless all the children that come to watch today and
I ask that You will touch each one of them.
Thank you that You are the living God.
Please draw close to the teachers and staff here.
And that the pupils that come today will get the point.
Lord I invite Your Holy Spirit to be in the hall and ask that
all the pupils will be touched by the message we share.
Thank you Jesus that we were all able to come today and that
everyone is well.
Help this to go well and that the pupils enjoy it.
Thank you Jesus that we were able to come here.
Help everything to go well.
And that Jakomäki could be transformed.
I ask that everything goes smoothly
and that Your Holy Spirit will touch everyone.
Lord bless this day and be with us all.
Be with them and with us and help it to go well.
Father I ask that everything
will happen according to Your will.
Thank you that we were all able to come today. Amen.
Jesus give us Your joy so that You can be happy about
what we are doing here today. Amen.
Today we have some visitors. Over there in the red T-shirts.
They're from a King's Kids group called - Blazing Arrows.
We've invited them here to sing and dance and they have
some other things for us.
And today they're doing your Religious Education lesson.
Our God is a great God, He always reigns.
Lord for evermore.
The word from His mouth beats the powers of darkness.
Freedom that breaks chains.
We worship You, Holy God.
All our praise and thanksgiving You deserve.
Honour to You in the highest.
All our praise and thanksgiving You deserve.
Our God is a great God, He always reigns.

Hey, Janika how do you know that God exists?
I know because often when I pray,
I can hear God's voice.
How does he speak to you?
He gives me visions.
Sometimes I speak in tongues.
Often I also dance to God - the movements come from God.
Fanni what are we doing now?
Next I'm going to ask you all to get up.
Together we're going to learn a dance called -
'We want to see Jesus lifted high'
It starts with clicking your fingers like this.
If you can't click, then just do this movement with your arm.
Then we hear a trumpet blast, where we jump up -
Ok, everyone jump -
Then we run in a small circle.
Then we jump again, then another circle.
Ok, then -
We want to see Jesus lifted high
a banner that flies across the land.
Ok, let's do that again.
We want to see Jesus lifted high
a banner that flies across the land.
Then -
That all men might see the truth and know
He is the way to heaven So it's -
That all men might see the truth and know
He is the way to heaven.
Then we jump -
We want to see, we want to see
We want to see Jesus lifted high.
We want to see, we want to see Then step -
We want to see Jesus lifted high.
Ok, let's do this with music -
We want to see Jesus lifted high
a banner that flies across the land.
That all men might see the truth and know
He is the way to heaven.
We want to see Jesus lifted high
a banner that flies across the land.
That all men might see the truth and know
He is the way to heaven.
We want to see, we want to see We want to see Jesus lifted high
We want to see, we want to see We want to see Jesus lifted high.

Hey Sanni, what year are you in?
I'm in the 7th grade.
Why do you dance to God?
Because it's fun and important and makes me happy.
Why do you want to thank God?
Because it's important to thank God,
for all He's done for us.
What are you dancing next?
We're dancing - 'He is the Way'
We seek life from many things.
This song tells us that
Jesus is the one who gives us what we seek.
I was looking for peace,
for where my soul was restless.
Often I got lost,
even though I knew my way home.
I was seeking a new direction in my life.
Then Jesus spoke directly to my heart.
He is the way.
He is the way, the truth and the life.
He is the way.
He takes me to a place where my soul can rest.
I have peace in my heart,
and no one can take it from me.
Not even the raging world.
Jesus has promised to carry me.
He is the way.
He is the way, the truth and the life.
He is the way.
He takes me to a place where my soul can rest.
Now I look upon the empty cross
The Lord will guide me to my heavenly home.
He is the way.
He is the way, the truth and the life.
He is the way.
He takes me to a place where my soul can rest.
He is the way. He is the way.
We had a camp a month ago and we prayed
for this school while we were there.
Riikka could you tell us what God said to you there?
In the prayer room there God showed me Psalm 56,
and He let me know how some feel when they are teased.
Aurora, could you read what
this Psalm in the Bible says about being teased?
Yes.
God have mercy on me, for people chase me;
everyday they fight against me.
They make me anxious. Daily they twist my words.
All their thoughts are to harm me.
They conspire, they lurk,
they watch my steps, eager to take my life.
You've kept a record of my lamentations.
List my tears in your ledger, are they not in your book?
God is my refuge, I will not be afraid.
What can man do to me?
You saved my soul from death and my feet from stumbling,
so that I can walk with God in the light of the living.
Sirja, how does God know what it feels like to be teased?
Because He's experienced it through Jesus.
He's lived on this earth and has been teased himself.
He know what it's like.
And Riikka how do you feel about Jesus?
Let's watch a sketch, which makes it clear.
Aurora do you feel that way about Jesus?
Yes. We don't need to carry any burdens or fear anything.

Now we're going to do something completely voluntary.
You can join in if you like.
We've been sharing about Jesus, through words and dance.
If you'd like to be touched by God here where you're sitting.
Only if you want. You can ask Jesus to touch you.
Meri could you pray?
Thank you Jesus that You love everyone here in this hall.
Let Your Holy Spirit come on those who want.
You bless everyone and love us enormously. Thank You.
Thank you. If some of you have been teased
here at school or somewhere else.
You can also tell Jesus quietly.
He understands and can come and comfort you.
Riikka, could you pray about this?
Jesus, bless those who are being teased at this school.
You have experienced the same feelings and even worse -
of being teased, distressed.
Help change the fear into courage.
If there's anyone ill here,
if any dear ones are unwell at home - Jesus can heal them.
And we want pray that Jesus will heal them.
Erika, could you pray?
Jesus heal all the those who are ill.
Help those who are ill to ask God to help them.
He will heal you if you believe.
If some would like to be completely in God's arms,
just like we saw in the sketch,
you can also ask for that quietly - in your mind.
You can also ask Jesus
to take your whole life and all your burdens.
Minja, could you pray?
Lord I ask that all who want to follow you and be near You,
are able to draw close to You.
Please guide each and every step in their lives.
As we've learnt to know God,
we can pray for all the good things in our lives.
That's what we'd like to do now - we'd like to bless you.
Aurora?
Lord I ask that you can bring Your peace to this school.
That our visit here can change this school.
Amen.
Thank you for letting us come here today.
Thank you for coming.
Have a good day.
