Here you will find a spiritual concept, a semester program on the topic of "Ernst Tanner Helimission" and other interesting information (including videos).

Ernst Tanner is a Swiss missionary and helicopter pioneer who has had many exciting experiences with God, people and helicopters over the years. His lively stories can be found in the books Todesschatten and Mehr als ein Abenteuer (both on the Helimission homepage). There are also video clips of various stories to match the afternoon's theme.

The stories are ideal for a semester with a focus on young adult technology (see semester program).

This program was created for Poland as food for thought. The weekly plan could be done like this. However, it has more ideas on a separate sheet what you could still do.

A quick reaction game with evaluation.

Homesickness happens to children every now and then, especially during extended camps in tents or houses. Sometimes it's hardly an issue, sometimes homesickness spreads like an epidemic.

In this article, you'll learn how homesickness develops, how to reduce the likelihood of it happening in the first place, and what to do when a child is homesick.

Whether in the Sola, on a normal Jungschar afternoon or on a team outing, a cosy fire should almost never be missing. But which leader does not know it, that he quickly reaches for kindling cubes due to lack of knowledge or lack of time and inwardly knows: "I have sinned against the Jungschar law!" :)

Well this booklet can't give you extra time making a fire, but it can give you tips and tricks on how to make a fire survival style.

These topics are covered:
- What are the regulations/laws of fire making?
- Different natural tinder (tinder sponge/birch bark etc.)
- Different spark generators (ignition steel, fire drill etc.)
- Fire forms (pyramid, layered fire)
- Fire drilling
- Different dishes for over the fire

The booklet is very good for personal use, for leaders but also for children.
Have fun reading through it and then maybe making a fire.

The idea of this EPA afternoon is to look at God's Word, continuing with the theme God's Word is like a sword.

From the wrong to the right father!

Painting a little pig, building a Jenga tower... it's easy! Yes, if you can see. Can you do it blind?

The story of Noah's Ark is told in this theater from the animals' point of view. They have to decide whether they want to believe Noah and God's promises and go onto the ark, or stay on earth like the other spotters. For them, the decision has far-reaching consequences; once they are on the ark, there is no going back. Each animal has its own character traits and a different opinion of the ark.

The theater has a lot to do with trust and faith in God's promises. It is intended to build a bridge to our own life of faith. Do we trust God 100%? Are we already on the ark or are we standing in front of it?

The play is written in beautiful Bärndütsch and is peppered with numerous little jokes. It was written for a Pfila, so there is still room for improvement... ;)
