Last night we had our first official Vacation Bible Scool concert with kids who had gone through our curriculum. Wow!
It reminded me a lot of the first time we did a kids concert after our Splash cd came out. We thought we knew what to expect but we had no idea! It's hard to put into words how awesome it was to see all the kids singing along with every word, wearing their t-shirts and backstage passes, and so ecstatic to see the guys they've been watching on video all week long!
This community had five churches come together from different denominations to put on VBS and the concert for their kids. They worked together with the common goal of sharing the Gospel of Jesus Christ with these kids. What an honor that they would use us and our VBS as part of this mission!
I was simply amazed at the size of the crowd and equally thrilled at how pumped the VBS staff was about how the week was going.
I will shout this from the rooftops until the day I die: When you boldly share the Gospel amazing things happen!!! Way to go Fremont, NE. After all of your hard work you can rest assured that every kid heard the Gospel. They know the truth. Let's pray they never forget it.
Here is a huge stack of thank you cards the kids made for us. One in particular caught my eye and reminded me again of the heartbreaking things some of these kids are going through. Another reminder of why they need the hope of Christ...not watered down "happy thoughts". We're off to Georgia today to do it all again. I can't wait!

We saw the show last night and it was great! Both of my girls absolutely loved it (we did too) and have really enjoyed VBS this year! Way to go!
