During April of 1964 some good people in Pisgah, Alabama, were enlisting church members to work for two weeks in Vacation Bible School. Yes, you read correctly. It was Monday through Friday with a weekend break and five more days the next week. In those ten days kids received thirty hours of encounter at the VBS. And it made a difference in me. You see, on the Thursday of the second week of VBS, I was confronted with the Gospel. It was there I meet Jesus as my Savior. 

So here we are over forty years later and workers are being enlisted again. Kids will come to Olive June 4-8, from 9:00 am-noon. This will give us fifteen hours of encounter with the children. And just like me some of them will come to be saved during the week. Dennis Dean and I need help. We need workers to step up and be ready to help. Now is the time to make preparation.    

Last week during one of Olive’s Easter services a young child came down the aisle and I greeted the family. I asked, “Why have you come?” The answer was to ask Jesus into her heart. Heaven rejoiced. I rejoiced. Parents rejoiced. One day the last of the redeemed will trust Jesus and the end will come. It could be during VBS in 2007. Join the team. Let’s impact boys and girls with the Gospel. It all begins in about six weeks.
