No one breathed.
Every footstep below brought chills across the back of Jeff’s neck. If the
witch doctor heard any movement from the loft, they could all end up in that
prison cell with K.J…. or worse.
Genre: Adventure
Target Audience: Boys and Girls 11-15
Subjects: Missions, Sorcery/Witchcraft,
Salvation, Prayer
Summary: If this adventure gets any more adventurous
the Reel Kids may never be able to go on another adventure again! First it’s
sitting in a broken down car in the midst of a herd of elephants past the time
they are supposed to be out of the wildlife park. Then it’s K.J. getting
accused of stealing a necklace and having his passport taken. If he doesn’t
find the missing necklace by the end of the trip, he won’t be allowed to leave
the country with the others. Then it’s their team leader getting malaria and
being hospitalized. Then it’s a poisonous snake in their room. Then it’s
finding a group of slaughtered elephants left by poachers. Then it’s an
encounter with a witch doctor trying to cast a sickness out of a young boy.
Finally, the Reel Kids take on the witch doctor and join him in a challenge to
see who serves the greater power. The challenge is simple. The one who makes it
rain wins. If the rain doesn’t come, Jeff, K.J., Mindy, and Warren may not be
leaving the country. They may not even be alive to try!
Notes: The Stolen Necklace is third
in the Reel Kids Adventures, a series about a group of kids who go to other
countries showing a Gospel presentation video and making films about the people
who live there. In this one, the kids are in an African jungle, meeting up with
native tribes and encountering opposition from a witch doctor in one of the
tribes. The Gospel is presented to their guide who becomes a Christian. The
kids are reminded to keep their trust in God as He proves Himself more powerful
than the witch doctor. The series is definitely adventure focused rather than
realistic. It’s meant to show some of the exciting things that happen on
foreign missions trips.

1 Kings 18:37-39 – Answer me, O LORD, answer me,
so these people will know that you, O LORD, are God, and that
you are turning their hearts back again." Then
the fire of the LORD fell and burned up the sacrifice, the wood,
the stones and the soil, and also licked up the water in the trench. When all the people saw this, they fell prostrate
and cried, "The LORD--he is God! The LORD--he is God!"
