“My little children, let us not love in word, neither in tongue; but in deed and in truth.” -
• Listen with all your heart. A child needs to know he or she is heard. Then a kid’s hear says, “I’m loved by that leader!”
• Recognize the signs. Some children will ask very direct questions; others will be searching for words. Even others might do something to provoke you just to see if your love is real. Ask simple, non threatening questions to help a kid think through the things they’re trying to find out.
• Make the child feel at ease. . If you are relaxed, the child will be, too. Explain in the simplest words, so that the child will understand—and let the child ask questions. If you don’t know the answer, say, “I don’t know. But I will find out and I will tell you tomorrow.” And then, make SURE to continue that conversation!
• Tell your own story. Tell how it came to be that you joined God’s family. How did that happen? What does it mean to you today?
• Be prepared. Don’t get so caught up in all the other details of VBS that you’re not ready when a child wants to join God’s family or needs to ask more questions! This is Great Big Kingdom Business—the reason we do VBS!
If any church ordering supplies through the Life Way store in Lexington the association gets a
15% rebate & that helps with the backyard bible school in town & the jail ministry.
VBS brings more kids to church than any single event.
A word to our VBS directors, as a director your heart is for the kids to know Jesus. That’s ultimately what VBS is about. We’ve seen the impact that VBS has on kids. It’s a way to reach a new generation of kids. In a culture where we find many churches shirking and apathy growing. VBS can be a light in the darkness for a lot of children.
The number of VBS professions of faith each year is equal to approximately 25% of all SBC baptisms. VBS is a very important evangelistic strategy.
