Their lives are unpredictable, filled with ups and downs, drops and dips, twists and turns, and loop-the-loops. Life can feel chaotic and crazy, out-of-control and uncertain.<\/p>\n<p>Life is wild because relationships change. Life is wild because parents divorce. Life is wild because people get sick\u2026and sometimes die. Life is wild because the news can be scary. Life is wild because kids have to move, change schools, adapt, learn, and grow.<\/p>\n<p>As adults, we\u2019ve come to expect the unexpected. But kids are still learning to process all the changes that life can throw at us. Those are changes that can make them feel like God is distant\u2026or maybe doesn\u2019t really care. Yet in the midst of all the confusion\u2026God is good. God is always, <em>always<\/em> good.<\/p>\n<p><em>\u201cThe Lord is good, a strong refuge when trouble comes.\u201d (Nahum 1:7)<\/em><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.group.com\/category\/ministry-resources\/childrens-ministry\/vbs\/roar.do\">Roar VBS<\/a> is intentionally-designed to give kids the solid foundation of God\u2019s goodness\u2014something they can stand on, cling to, hold, and remember when the wild side of life doesn\u2019t feel so fun or adventurous. Our prayer is that every child who experiences a week of Roar VBS is empowered to boldly face life\u2019s challenges. And you\u2019ll have the chance to guide kids in deepening their friendship with a mighty, loving, and <em>good<\/em>, <em>good<\/em> God.<\/p>\n<p>So, get ready for a wild week full of noise, excitement, craziness, and kid-friendly fun.
