On June 20 – 25, 2021, we held a Daily Vacation Bible School at Elliot Road Baptist Church in Gilbert, Arizona with Pastor Dan Mooney. The temperature was hotter than normal, but the kids invited their friends and family for a week of Bible stories, memory time, crafts and fun games. At the end of each day, I told a missionary story.
This year, our theme is “The Bible Stands.” VBS has focused on the truths of God’s Word and developing of a love for their Bible. One student raised her hand and asked the question, “What is the Bible?” We handed out about five Bibles that night to make sure that the children had a Bible to take home. The next night they all brought their Bibles for their points and to follow along with the Bible story.
Each evening the gospel was shared, and an invitation was given. Although there was no response, the children listened and went home knowing that God loved them and that they need to ask Jesus to save them. We got the report from one of the parents that their son came home and told his dad that he was a sinner and needed to ask Jesus to save him. From the mouths of babes, the gospel is spread. Please pray for Elliot Road Baptist Church as they seek to reach the lost in Arizona. Thanks for praying for the Silcott Ministries.
