Summer is racing forward…three church camps are over and now we are focused on VBS. It busts out of the gate next Sunday afternoon and continues thru Thursday night. Our goal is 150 kids…at least that is the goal to have attend any one night and Jeff and I will have our heads shaved the next Sunday morning after church. Some have asked me if I am nuts or what…well, I figure it will actually take about 200 or more invitations to get 150 here any one night. That is kids our church will touched with the love of Jesus Christ. Yeah, some are our own kids…and some are kids from other churches…but in that number there will likely be a kid or two who doesn’t attend any church regularly, or who lives in a home where Jesus is a curse word, or worse yet, hungers for some loving attention. What a priviledge for our church to be able to share the love of Christ with that child…all because some goffy preacher offered to have his head shaved. I’ve said it before, if I’m gonna be a fool, I want to be a fool for Jesus Christ! Now, to get others to catch the vision. If you’re not involved with it, VBS is tough work, but along with church camp, one of the most effective tools we have in reaching a young life for Christ. Pray that we will be effective next week…that our goofy stunts will attract children and point them to the Savior…and perhaps some will make Him their Savior.
