[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]You hear a lot about today\u2019s kids being empowered with technology and information. And sometimes those tools give kids a voice and influence (think Kid President on YouTube). Yet, every<\/em> kid understands what it\u2019s like to feel powerless in life\u2019s storms.<\/strong> After all, what can a kid do when someone has cancer or when friendships dissolve? Kids don\u2019t have control when a parent loses a job. They\u2019re helpless when friends move away. They feel incapable of helping solve so many of the huge problems around them. But the Bible assures us that we have power through Jesus: \u201cThis is the same mighty power that raised Christ from the dead.\u201d (Ephesians 1:19-20)<\/p>\n

At Shipwrecked VBS<\/a>, you\u2019ll empower kids every day<\/em> by giving kids responsibilities and opportunities to serve. <\/strong><\/p>\n

Every day, each child in the crew has an important Crew role\u2014one that\u2019s called on in a different station. Every day, one group of Crews makes snacks for the entire VBS. \u00a0And, every day kids contribute to Operation Kid-to-Kid, a mission project that will change lives throughout Haiti. Through these simple tasks, kids experience the power they have to serve and help.<\/strong> Plus, during KidVid Cinema, kids hear the true story of Seth, a boy who was powerless in a medical issue. Kids discover how a real kid\u2014just like them\u2014relied on Jesus\u2019 power to rescue him from a challenging time. Kids leave VBS emboldened with the power they have through Jesus.<\/strong> In our weakness, God\u2019s strength can do powerful things.[\/vc_column_text][vc_separator][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row el_id=”Shipwrecked Kit”][vc_column width=”1\/3″][vc_column_text]\"Shipwrecked[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”2\/3″][vc_column_text]If you haven\u2019t pre-ordered your\u00a0Shipwrecked VBS Ultimate Starter Kit<\/a>, you can\u00a0get\u00a0FREE shipping with promo code VBSKIT18<\/strong>.
