VBS "Out Of This World"!

Our Vacation Bible School this summer was “out of this world!”- with an outer space theme as we studied the life of Abraham (who was called “out of his world” by God to travel from Ur to Canaan, who had to live different than the world/Sodom and Gomorrah around him, who did “out of this world” feats of faith, like combating 4 kings and offering his son as a sacrifice!)

 

Each day, we “blasted off” into the depths of the Bible to discover the wonders God has for those who seek Him- through a daily Bible lesson, a daily memory verse, worship songs and dances, a kitchen station, a craft station, and a game station.

 

The results were truly “out of this world!” – each year, the Lord

continues to amaze me with His faithfulness and work in each child and volunteer during VBS. 

Testimonies this year:

-55 kids attended the camp!

-The children memorized 5 full Bible verses- one each day.  Even 5-year-old Ivana could recite the verses by the end of the week!

-The Lord provided a full volunteer staff!  Only 2 months ago, when we started preparing for VBS, barely 5 people from our church could commit to serving, but God opened their schedules and hearts the week of the event, and we had many volunteer hands to love and serve the children.

-Energy and health for me at 36 weeks pregnant was definitely the work of the Lord!- a couple days I came home

from the camp waddling and drooping from exhaustion, but was renewed each day the following morning.

-A full crowd of parents and family members attended the closing VBS ceremony on Sunday, where each heard the Gospel message and stayed for fellowship meal afterwards.

-At the closing ceremony, 3 families expressed an interest in studying the

Bible with us to know Christ more!

 

We trust that God’s Word will not return empty, and that each verse, song, lesson and truth planted in these 55 children will give fruit to salvation in Jesus Christ!
