This was an email we received today and I thought it was definitely worth sharing. It's truly amazing to think of how many kids are impacted through VBS. We couldn't do what we do without local churches taking the lead. We are blessed because of you!
Dear Go Fish,
This year we thought that because we had no budget, that we would have one of two things - either 1) No VBS or 2) a LAME VBS. We were soooo wrong! We didn't know that God was going to provide an AWESOME, affordable VBS through you GO FISH GUYS!!!
God blessed. We had 176 different kids that had a BLAST learning about the Savior in a super cool environment! We had at least 6 first time decisions for Christ and we had 4 baptisms Sunday morning. I had parents asking if they could pay for their kids to get a "good bible" (that meant something other than an old family KJV). We wanted to provide a NIRV for the kids who didn't have their own - and by God's provision we were able to hand out 25. Kid's were asking their parents to help them look up scriptures, and then their parents were arriving back and asking us to help them learn how to find things in God's Word!
I can NOT say thank you enough for everything. Thanks for keeping the crowd jumping and Bible thumpin'!!!!
Serving Christ along with you, (Same Lord different locations)
