Is there anything in the title "Vacation Bible School" that says anything about it only being for little kids? Absolutely not. This past week we did VBS at church and I lead the song time. Not only did I get to reach kids through what I know best, but as I was on stage I got to see them all worshiping; that is the part that I loved most. Yes, singing is cool, playing guitar is fun and all that good stuff, but actually seeing all 46 kids dancing and worshiping their Savior was breathtaking.
VBS is not only for kids. The youth group kids were the crew leaders. They took small groups of kids to each station and talked to them and got to know them. VBS is for teens. They got to see that these kids have the faith of a child (duh) and how easy it can be for them to have that too. It was so cool to see how the connected and were able to teach them about Christ and how to be able to get to heaven. It was awesome.
VBS is not only for kids and teens. I know that my patience was tested with some of the little rascals. I am not good with kids, nor have I ever been. This is intensified when I have not slept for a few days. I'm not a happy camper for a good chunk of the time. But God used me, and gave me strength to handle problems without biting anyone's head off. I feel that as the kids grew in knowledge and the teens grew in faith, I also grew in patience and understanding.
VBS is for anyone. If your church does VBS, get involved. If they don't, see about maybe starting one up. It's one of the most rewarding experiences because you are instrumental in the salvation of so many children.
That is all I have to say.
