| I will be praying for your Crocodile Dock VBS. May God bless you with more kids that you've ever had at VBS. Don't get discouraged though in doing the work of Christ. Keep your hopes up and make Crocodile Dock the best VBS that the kids coming have ever had. God Bless, Josh

| I will say a prayer for you and your workers. Don't be discouraged. What an opportunity to make those children feel special. A fellow children's pastor friend of mine always says.. "Anyone can count the number of seeds in an apple, but God can count the number of apples in a seed!" God will richly bless the seeds that you sow this week.

| Please don't be discouraged! Somebody commented that we did not have very many on our first day and then someone added that those children are very fortunate. Sometimes with large numbers the children are "herded" from one station to another and never really have a chance to talk about what they are learning. Smaller groups give some children an opportunity to speak when they would not otherwise. Once we heard this prospective it really made a difference in the way the adults interacted with one another and those in attendance. We did not focus on numbers but the reason we were there - to tell those who came about God. The children attending your VBS will remember it - the decorations, the different stations, the people they spoke with and played with. If one child benefits - or one adult benefits from hearing and learning about God then all your hard work has paid off. I will pray for your VBS and that you will have special God Sightings like we did. Shawn

Fear not! God is powerful and He will be able to do great things through those 12 kids. Praying that you and your staff will be able to make it an amazing experience that will draw them (and you!) close to God.

God is with us....Fear not! God is poweful and will do mighty things with just a few, 12 or hundreds. We will all keep you & your VBS in prayer..but perhaps these 12 needed the extra love & care....even if just 1 child gets saved or helped in some way...it is worth it! Keep shining God's light to these kids & keep your chin up!
