Got VBS?

Calling all tweens!

New tween devos are coming. They are all about your life and what the Bible says about you! Each devotion is personal. Each one will help you grow in your faith in God. Be ready! Get stoked because Jesus cares for you! New tween devos. . .coming from Zonderkidz in 2015. 

How many days until summer vacation? Are you counting down? Ask anyone in the 9-12 year old group. They can tell you. You might be surprised, though. Some will also say this.

I don't really want school to be out.

Maybe they will miss their friends. Maybe they will miss having something to do. Maybe they will miss the structure of an organized school day. Enter VBS. Vacation Bible School. Bible School. It is that time of year, and teachers are busy getting ready.

At VBS training recently, there was a resounding call to pray for our students. There was the assurance that classlists would be available as soon as possible.

It was a busy afternoon. Can you say HIGH E_N_E_R_G_Y on the part of every director? They were ready for us -- ready to lead us in getting ready for teaching and sharing with lots and lots of children. We learned the fun VBS song with hand motions. We saw wonderful VBS decoration ideas. We learned about telling children about Jesus. Then, I walked to our department director's vehicle to get our supplies -- bags filled with lesson materials, decorations, and game items. She had it all ready. Someone asked about student handouts. Check. Copied and in the bags. Someone asked about another needed item. Check again. In the bags.

You know, our classlists will come as soon as the families sign up. I have no doubt. We will have names of VBS goers to pray for, but guess what. . . God already has that list. He already knows the children He is calling for each class. The prayer list is ready for us today.

How can we pray for the children on our classlists?

• for the schedules of the families to allow children to come
• for transportation, especially for children of working parents
• for the preparation of the children's hearts
• for engaging, making-memories experiences
• for safety and health
• for engaging, run-til-your tired recreation
• for last for a lifetime, heart-filling songs and music
• for display-at-home arts and crafts
• for inspiring lessons of missions

Let's pray for for the awesome opportunity to tell them about Jesus!


Jesus said, “Let the little children come to me, and do not hinder them, for the kingdom of heaven belongs to such as these.” Matthew 19:14   (NIV)
