What Is Your Follow-Up To VBS?
Keep encouraging your kids to develop hearts for serving others with this fully-resourced missions curriculum—filled with fun, interactive learning experiences and kid-inspired service projects. It will open kids’ eyes (and grown-ups’ too!) to the needs in their community and around the world—then challenge them to do something about it. During six sessions, kids will discover the answer to these challenging questions:
1 Who will I TRUST? Kids understand what it means to have faith. LUKE 8:22-25
2 How do I PRAY? Kids learn about persistent prayer. LUKE 18:1-8
Item # 025611814 ISBN: 9780784776353 $49.99
3 What can I GIVE?
5 Who will I SERVE?
Kids are challenged to give more than they think they have. EXODUS 1; 2:1-10
Kids are encouraged to live out the dreams God gives. NEHEMIAH 2, 4
4
Where can I GO?
Kids discover what happens when wounds heal. GENESIS 37, 45
6 How can I LOVE?
Kids find out love brings new life even in dark places. LUKE 10:25-37
“Our hope is to resource churches to help open kids’ eyes to the needs in their community and around the world. I believe we have the opportunity to invest in this next generation, to show them how God sees the lost and to help kids understand how He wants to use them! We believe that by inspiring kids through true stories, they will begin to make a personal contribution.”
