VBS Fast Day

They will be as mighty men,
Treading down the enemy in the mire of the streets in battle;
And they will fight, for the Lord will be with them…
And their heart will be glad as if from wine;
Indeed, their children will see it and be glad,
Their heart will rejoice in the Lord. Zechariah 10:5, 7

Today is our church's VBS Fast Day. We are praying for God to do the impossible. But it's not just up to God... He invites us to fight with Him! So we're rallying together to contend for the breakthroughs God wants to do.

There are hundreds of kids and volunteers registered. Each one needs a touch from God. Families are breaking apart, homes and jobs have been lost... the future seemingly unsure for so many. The desperation in our lives is palpable.

The enemy says that we don't have the time, energy, or money to pull off VBS. He speaks despair to tempt us to isolate in fear. But VBS is an opportunity to reject his lies and step into the battle for these little ones' hearts and lives. As we serve the kids, God will do the miraculous, empowering us to crush the enemy's hopelessness under our sweaty, dusty feet.

In the end, we'll be drunk with joy, and our kids will come to know God. Awwww yeah! That's going to be some serious F-U-N!!!
