1. VACATION BIBLE SCHOOL IS PRIMARILY AIMED AT THOSE WHO ARE THE MOST RECEPTIVE TO THE GOSPEL – CHILDREN. According to a Barna Research Study, approximately 50% of all those that obey the gospel do so by the age of 15.
“Let the little children come to Me, and do not forbid them…” Mark 10:14.
2. VACATION BIBLE SCHOOL IS A GREAT OUTREACH OPPORTUNITY. On average, 25% of the children that attend come from unchurched homes. These youngsters (and their parents) deserve an opportunity to hear the gospel of Christ. Vacation Bible School provides such an opportunity.
“…faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the word of God” Rom. 10:17.
3. CHILDREN GET EXCITED ABOUT VACATION BIBLE SCHOOL. They eagerly anticipate the singing, games, prizes, classes, crafts, snacks and friends. At the same time, they learn more about God’s word, the parables of Jesus, and more.
“Train up a child in the way he should go, and when he is old he will not depart from it” Prov. 22:6
4. VBS PERMITS OUR CHILDREN TO SPEND MORE TIME TOGETHER. As our children mature it is vital that they develop close friendships within the church. Their future faithfulness may depend upon such relationships.
“…exhorting one another, and so much the more as you see the Day approaching” Heb. 10:25.
5. VBS GIVES ADULTS THE OPPORTUNITY TO ENCOURAGE OUR CHILDREN. Since our children are the FUTURE of the church, it is imperative that adults provide them with attention and encouragement. Nationwide, thousands of children have been known to return to church services because one or more adults made them feel special!
"Let the little children come to Me, and do not forbid them; for of such is the kingdom of heaven." Matt. 19:14
