VBS - 2009

If you love the little children … train them up in the way they should go.

 Be sure to let your church’s VBS director know about the Society of St. Andrew’s free VBS Mission Project, “TREK Mission Adventure”.

 VBS kids will TREK across God’s beautiful world on adventures that put them on the front line of learning the importance of eating healthy, sharing with others, and using their hands to help God’s hungry children. The program is designed to supplement the VBS curriculum and can be easily adapted to any VBS theme.

This year’s program features daily “Go Green” facts with such information as how much it costs the U.S. to dispose of all its food waste.  Daily activity sheets for all ages also contain short scripturally based stories, facts about hunger and SoSA’s hunger-relief ministry, potato trivia, and pencil activities.

 In addition to the fun and educational aspects of these daily “mission adventures,” the goal for each VBS is to raise enough through student offerings for the Society of St. Andrew to save and donate 1,000 pounds of fresh produce that will end up on the plates of hungry Americans.  At about a nickel a pound, that’s a goal of $50.

 Encourage your church to add SoSA’s “TREK Mission Adventure” to its VBS program this year.
