VBS is Coming! Gospel for Asia-style

Action songs, Bible lessons, puppet shows – each are a part of Vacation Bible School, and each have been prayed over and designed to display the love of Jesus. On this side of the world, your church might be gearing up for its summer programs, and in South Asia, VBS programs are already in full swing!



What better time could there be to share about VBS in Asia than when it is actually happening?
 

As your church gears up for VBS, can you add a missionary component? Below are some ideas you can use to help share with our children here in the States what is going on in Asia concerning the Kingdom of God.

What you can do:

• Share a story from the mission field "Doctors Fail, VBS Teacher Prays" http://www.gospelforasia-reports.org/2014/04/doctors-fail-vbs-teacher-prays/
• Share a video about what VBS means to thousands of kids and their families: https://mygfa.org/p/choose/vbs/
• Encourage people to pray for VBS by sharing this fun puppet video: http://www.gfa.org/pray/2014/april-vbs/
• Consider encouraging your VBS to raise funds so Asian children can attend a life changing week at VBS through scholarships – only $25 can send 5 kids to VBS: http://www.gfa.org/ministries/vbs/

 

Who knows? The next Hudson Taylor or Elizabeth Elliot may be sitting in a pew or a chair this summer in your church, ready to change the world.

 

Gospel for Asia is the organization founded by K.P. Yohannan. I first heard him speak at a chapel service as a sophomore in college (Houghton College, 1988). Read more about the ministry in his book, No Longer a Slumdog. You can also visit their website @ www.gfa.org.
