Vacation Bible School as Popular as Ever, 70,000 Children Predicted to Make Jesus Lord This Summer

(Worthy Insights) – Summertime means Vacation Bible School for many churches across the country. For more than a hundred years, VBS has provided children a week-long, faith-based experience combining learning with fun and fellowship.

Excitement filled the air at Kempsville Baptist Church in Virginia Beach on a recent hot Wednesday night in July, as children from kindergarten through 5th grade showed up for their 3rd night of VBS. Bible lessons combined with games, crafts, music and other activities engage the young people while helping them grow in their faith.

This year’s focus is magnifying the Lord.

Lifeway VBS Specialist Melita Thomas told CBN News, “It’s all about seeing the bigness of God in the small details of His creation. For a generation of kids that is plagued with isolation, that’s plagued with anxiety and loneliness and worry to have a message that the God of the universe is never too busy for you, that He sees you and knows you and loves you, He made you, you are not a mistake. He knows how many hairs are on your head. He loves you so much that He chose to die to pave the way for our relationship to be restored to Him.”
