VBS—Haitian Style!

Remember those magical words when you were a kid? Vacation Bible School! It was a time each summer to eat, learn Bible stories, play, make crafts, learn a new song, complete with hand motions! It was a time to learn about Jesus and his love for you and all of the world.

Pastor Ezena is gearing up for the first VBS held in his home area of Les Anglais, Haiti, on August 23rd—29th. He anticipates at least 230 kids will attend, most of whom are transplants from devastated Port-au-Prince.

Pastor Ezena wrote, “We will need additional funds to provide daily food, Creole Bibles for readers and little ones, prizes and certificates for the program.”

For four hours each day, the cost of this 7-day VBS is roughly $4.00 per child, ($900).
Twenty dollars will ensure 5 kids get to create that prized handicraft, make delightful memories, win one of the various planned races, and quite possibly, meet Jesus.

Pastor Ezena has the crew to make sure this is a memorable VBS for these children who have seen so much turmoil in the last few months.

This is an urgent request, as we cannot support this effort without your prayers and financial help. Thank you for considering this request.
