“Dare to Share God’s Love”
A free VBS mission program teaching children about
hunger in America and how Jesus expects his followers to do something
about it.
Challenge your Vacation Bible School students to “Dare to
Share God’s Love” this summer! The Society of St. Andrew’s very popular
free VBS mission program is designed to supplement your VBS program and
help your students learn about hunger in America and how Jesus expects
his followers, even children, to do something about it. Through
scripture lessons and activity sheets, students will learn how they can
make a difference in the fight against hunger.
The goal of “Dare to Share God’s Love” is to feed the hungry by raising
at least $50 for the Society of St. Andrew’s hunger relief work, a
nickel at a time! Each nickel donated to the Society of St. Andrew (SoSA)
is enough to deliver a pound of salvaged fresh, nutritious potatoes to
the nation’s hungry through SoSA’s Potato Project. For each $50 donation
about 1,000 pounds of salvaged potatoes will go to feed hungry children
and adults right here in America.
The Society of St. Andrew (Advance #801600) is a Christian
non-denominational hunger-relief ministry headquartered in Virginia,
with regional offices in Alabama, Florida, North Carolina and Texas, and
Gleaning Network offices in 20 states and New England.
Monies raised by Vacation Bible Schools throughout the nation will help
the Society of St. Andrew’s Potato Project deliver tractor-trailer loads
of salvaged potatoes across the U.S. to agencies feeding the poor.
SoSA’s potatoes go to food banks, Salvation Armies, soup kitchens,
Native American reservations and other agencies to feed those who are
homeless, those with shelter-related needs, elderly people, children and
families in need.
Make feeding the hungry through the Society of St. Andrew your VBS
mission focus for 2005. “Dare to Share God’s Love” materials are free of
