Get Children Excited About Missions
Sometimes, it’s easy to forget others or only focus on our own needs and problems. And this is true for children as well. That’s why we want to encourage children to develop an “others focus,” giving them a big-picture view of the needs of our relatives around the world, through our Mission Moments at VBS.

Helping Children Remember God’s Word
It’s so vital that we memorize Scripture, and we want our children to memorize Scripture. Verses learned at a young age often sink deep into your heart, staying with you for the rest of your life. That’s powerful! And that’s why we emphasize Scripture memory throughout Answers VBS.
