Pictured here is one of our volunteers "Big Mike" with little children and it is of little children, we speak. This is the time when there are vacation bible schools. We received some email about the success of VBS's in different areas of the country. There was a great desire on the part of christians to conduct these VBS's and not surprisingly there was a great desire for people to come to them.
Marge, one our volunteers with the DRT, tells of a brother coming down to the gulf area just looking for a place where there were children to just pull in and set up a bible school. "Think it can't be done?" 68 attended this vacation bible school. I don't know what they knew about Jesus before the VBS, but they knew a whole lot more after it.
Another email from Dave in Somerset, Ohio. They had their best VBS in years. They had great contact with the community. The teachers were incredible! The last day the parents of the children were invited in to see the work of their children. Don't you know they had to be influnced for the Lord in seeing the concern of this congregation for their children? Isn't that just great? Again, as christians reached out to the community, it responded and Jesus was taught.
These are just two examples of volunteers reaching out to other people. People do want to know of the Jesus that we read of in the bible. "And when we do what God says, He will bless us too." Don
