Gleaning America's Fields ~ Feeding America's Hungry

 

 

Vacation Bible School

Mission Project

Vacation Bible School provides a wonderful opportunity to teach young people about the importance of mission. The Society of St. Andrew invites you to challenge your Vacation Bible School students to fight hunger by participating in our VBS mission project.

Using our free* material, each VBS student will learn about hunger in America and how Jesus expects his followers to do something about it. Through scripture lessons and activity sheets, they will learn how even children can help in the fight against hunger.

Each VBS that contributes $50 or more will be awarded a certificate.

We provide to your Vacation Bible School the following:

  • Reproducible age-appropriate worksheets designed to introduce children to hunger and poverty issues from a Biblical perspective and to teach them about the ministries of the Society of St. Andrew.
     

  • Colorful stickers for each participant. 
     

  • Instructions for administering the program.

*PLEASE NOTE: Our VBS Mission Project material is provided free of charge to Vacation Bible Schools and others who covenant with us to donate to our ministry through this program.

2012 VBS Mission Program - "IT'S A MIRACLE!"

IT’S A MIRACLE! can be used either as a stand-alone program, or as a mission emphasis to compliment your church’s Vacation Bible School
program. Each day, your students will be introduced to one of Jesus’ miracles; from walking on water to helping the blind to see.

 

IT’S A MIRACLE! is a complete VBS program that includes a Bible story, daily activity sheets for all ages, facts about hunger and SoSA’s ministry, potato trivia, Go Green facts, and pencil activities. In addition, each day your VBS students will be sent on a mission activity which will put them on the front line of learning the importance of eating healthy, sharing with others, and keeping God’s world beautiful. Your students will be amazed to learn how they can use their hands to help feed God’s hungry children. Besides the fun and educational aspects of this mission project, the goal for each VBS is to raise enough money through student offerings for 1,000 pounds of fresh produce that will end up on the plates of hungry children and adults. At a nickel a pound, that’s a goal of $50. Some pastors have been good sports and promised to eat a worm, shave their legs, get pied in the face, or “live on top of the church” if their students exceed their goal. Why not see if your pastor is willing to do something crazy that will challenge your VBS students to strive to feed more hungry children.

 

Last year, more than 500 churches used SoSA’s VBS program. VBS kids enthusiastically answered Jesus’ call to feed the hungry by donating over $28,000 – and that provided more than 1 million servings of food to feed our hungry brothers and sisters. The fresh food will be donated by SoSA to feeding agencies across the nation to feed hungry children and adults.
