Matthew 19:14
Jesus said, “Let the little children come to me, and do not hinder them, for the kingdom of heaven belongs to such as these.”
Hey everyone,
Our church conducted a workshop in preparation for Vacation Bible School where we learnt what our responsibilities were and immersed ourselves in prayer and worship for the opportunity to teach children at Vacation Bible School.
I am going to teach “Crafts and Play”. We are following the Group VBS 2015 program – “Everest- Conquering Challenges with God’s Mighty Power”
Our church is so excited about this. We are going all around giving flyers and putting up posters encouraging people to send their children. We are expecting around 300 children - including non Christian children.
At the closing of the workshop we all went for a prayer walk around the church campus praying over every area for the children. We also prayed at every pew asking God to bless and be with us as we minister to the children.
We prayed that every child who walks in to church would be touched by God.
All of us hoped that we would have open hearts and minds to listen to the children and be able to comfort them and help them in case of any need.
Being in India, we also prayed for security.
We asked God to protect us and the children from any hindrance/opposition that would come from those who hate Christians. We also prayed for the families of the children that they would not put obstacles in the way of a child coming there.
I was hoping if any of you are VBS volunteers/teachers, this thread would be one where you could share your experiences about it.
Hopefully if you have any testimonies, anecdotes or experiences with other such programs in your church, do share!
God bless you
