VBS Day 3 - This is what it's all about

Today was an incredible day at VBS. Yes, we're all having fun and being goofy but ultimately the goal of VBS is to teach these children about Jesus and let them know how much He loves them and wants to be the center of their lives. Today was the day that we talked specifically about the sacrifice that Jesus made for each person there. It was during our Bible Adventure time that three of my kids said that they wanted to talk more about what Jesus did for them and how they can make Him real in their lives. At that point we got them together with Pastor Allen and others that were there specifically to talk to the kids one-on-one about what it means to follow Jesus.

Two of the children were not quite ready yet to make the decision to ask Jesus into their hearts but they are close. That is exciting - the seeds are being planted and they are paying attention. They are getting there.

The third child did make a decision to ask Jesus into her heart!!! WOW!!! How exciting. - a life forever changed. What was really special was that her mom is also a crew leader and they went and got her and shared with her what happened. She was so excited that she was crying and her daughter was beaming. It was a very special moment that brought tears to my eyes.

Today there were 30 children that made the decision to ask Jesus into their hearts!!!!!!!

This is what it's all about.

Thank you Jesus for changing lives and for loving us so completely that you died on the cross for us, making a way for us to be with you in heaven, forever. Thank you for the lives that were changed today. That you for the seeds that have been planted in the lives of the 500+ children (and families) that have been at VBS this week. You are an amazing God.
