Vacation Bible Schools
|
In many churches across this region of Jamaica, children's programs are scarce or nonexistent. However, the impact of introducing a Vacation Bible School (VBS) conducted by IS68 is nothing short of remarkable.
In numerous communities, the concept of a VBS is entirely novel, with only sporadic events occurring outside of IS68's initiatives. For the hundreds of children who have participated in IS68's VBS programs, the experience leaves an indelible mark, creating cherished memories that endure long after summer fades. IS68's approach to VBS is characterized by mobility and accessibility, reaching remote locations where such programs are a rarity. Our commitment extends beyond the event itself; we prioritize equipping local leaders by providing comprehensive training and resources. By empowering these individuals, we ensure the sustainability of VBS initiatives in their communities long after our departure. We have witnessed firsthand the transformative impact of these efforts, with some churches embracing the concept and adopting it as part of their ongoing ministry. In instances where financial support is needed to facilitate these VBS programs, IS68 steps in to provide assistance, whether through funding for meals or the provision of essential crafting materials. Through these collaborative endeavors, we not only enrich the lives of children with the message of God's love but also cultivate a culture of empowerment and service within local communities. Together, we sow seeds of faith and hope that continue to flourish long after our departure. |
