Our
VBS Mission Program
is designed to compliment your
church’s Vacation Bible School
program. “ORDER UP!” is
based on Galatians 5:22-23, 25.
“Since we live by the Spirit,
let us keep in step with the
Spirit.” (vs 25) Each day,
SoSA’s VBS mission program
introduces
a different fruit of the spirit,
along with a bible story that
demonstrates to your students
how the biblical character in
the story used one of their
“fruits” to help them achieve
the work God set before them.
“ORDER UP!”
includes 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
that
will put them on the front line
of learning the importance of
eating healthy, sharing with
others, keeping God’s world
beautiful, and how they can use
their hands to help 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
Americans. 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 higher to feed more
hungry children?
Last year,
more than 350 churches
used SoSA’s VBS program. VBS
kids enthusiastically answered
Jesus’ call to feed the hungry
by donating over $26,000 –
enough to provide more than
one
million servings of food to
hungry men, women, and children!
On average, each participating
VBS raised four-and-one-half
times the goal of $50. This year,
get your VBS involved in this
worthwhile mission project!
SoSA will donate the
fresh food
to
feed the hungry,
delivering it to feeding
agencies across the nation at a
cost to SoSA of just over 5˘ a
pound! It’s a simple, effective
way to obey Jesus’ command to
feed the hungry while being good
stewards of our nation’s
abundance.
