VBS 2007

Game Day Central was a TOUCHDOWN!!!!!!!!

I want to first of all thank God for what He did.  Without you God, we could not have done it.  Second, I want to thank all the volunteers for another awesome VBS.  Third, I want to thank all the parents who brought their kids.  And last I want to thank the kids for reminding me and everyone else why we do this every year…you guys are worth it!

During VBS this year we had 191 learners and 62 volunteers.  We had 15 decisions for Christ…PRAISE THE LORD!!!!!!  We collected nearly $200 for Fellowship of Christian Athletes and for the church restart at Eastside Baptist.  Lastly, we collected 94 bottles of water, 95 power bars, and 55 sports drinks for our first ever VBS mission project that went to the Kent State University football team.  As promised to the youth if they got 50 youth present at VBS, I would dye my hair PINK.  There are still traces of it in my hair…great job to everyone!!!!!!

On our family night we had a tailgate party and night full of fun events.  The kids totally loved the neo jumpers, horse rides, pop corn, cotton candy, and snow cones.  It was really cool having Coach Tobi Jacobi, Running Back Eugene Jarvis #6, Line Backer Stevon Moss #44, Corner Back Jack Williams #2, and Offensive Guard Joe Marafine #65 from the Kent State Football Team and Danny Muir #95 of the Green Bay Packers as our visitors for autographs and photos. 

The week was exhausting but when all was said and done, the worship rally pumped everyone up, the music team motivated us all, the teachers taught us strategies for life, missions taught us how to get into the game, the snacks were stadium ready, the recreation gave us a great work out, crafts taught us how to be creative in our game play, security provided us with safety coverage and the administrative team knew how to run the draft….it was a true VICTORY for Jesus…AWESOME JOB!!!!! 

I can’t wait to see what God will do through VBS next year…way to go team Broadman!!!!
