VBS Mission Projects

James 1:27 says “Religion that is pure and undefiled before God, the Father, is this: to visit orphans and widows in their affliction, and to keep oneself unstained from the world.” (ESV)

During VBS, the children had an opportunity to participate in 2 mission projects to help orphans and others in need.

Our Student Ministry will soon take a group to Honduras, so we decided to collaborate with them. The 1st - 5th grade children at VBS donated $743.73 to the group going to Honduras. This money will be used to buy a basketball goal and other items to improve an orphanage there.

The Preschool and Kindergarten children at VBS also participated in a mission project. They helped by bringing Kits for Kids. These “kits” included school supplies for children all around the world. The VBS kids donated 100 Kits for Kids! Now children who could not afford to purchase supplies for school can go to school with all of the supplies needed!

Great job, VBS kids!
