Serving Christ Through Montgomery Area Churches

Ma�hew 10:5-8 says this: Jesus sent his

twelve harvest hands out with this charge: “Don’t

begin by traveling to some far-off place to convert

unbelievers. And don’t try to be drama c by tackling

some public enemy. Go to the lost, confused people Go to the lost, confused people Go to the lost, confused people Go to the lost, confused people

right here in the neighborhoodright here in the neighborhoodright here in the neighborhoodright here in the neighborhood. Tell them that the

kingdom is here. Bring health to the sick. Raise the

dead. Touch the untouchables. Kick out the demons.

You have been treated generously, so live generously” (The Message).

Every year, I hear great stories of how Vaca�on Bible School affected

churches and families in the Greater Montgomery Area. Although, there

are many of our churches who do not u�lize the evangelis�c tool of

Vaca�on Bible School. According to Lifeway Research, VBS is one of the

most effec�ve ways to reach families in your neighborhood who don’t

know Christ. The truth is that there are lost, un-churched kids walking

across your property almost every day. Sure, they are usually a “handful.”

Sure, their parents might even use the different church VBS programs in

your community as childcare, but those kids s�ll need the hope that only

Christ can give. I hope that you will consider using Vaca�on Bible School

this summer to reach your neighborhood for Christ. I would like to

challenge you to not just have Vaca�on Bible School for the kids that a�end

your church but reach out to your neighborhood and “seek the lost,

confused people” who NEED to hear the gospel.

“Go to the lost, confused people right here in your neighborhood.”
