Description
Faith and trust are much the same thing in the Christian Experience. We trust in God and have faith that he will guide us and protect us in our walk with Him.
Materials
a blindfold
Preparation
Scatter chairs and obstacles around the room.
What to Do
- Ask for a volunteer.
- Explain that the volunteer will be blind-folded and then receive directions from you to walk from predetermined points A to B in the room.
- The goal is to get the volunteer to the predetermined destination without bumping into things.
- Before blindfolding the volunteer ask, “Do you trust me to guide you? “Do you have faith in yourself and in me to get from here to there without being able to see where you’re going? I will be with you for the journey and guide you along the way. Are you ready?”
