VBS BlogFest Begins! (Intro)

Blog Hijack!  

It's finally here, VBS 2015 at Horizons!  Most are familiar with Horizons' VBS.  It's a big deal.  It's the biggest thing people, energy, and Spirit wise Horizons does each year.  Last year 544 kids came and learned about Jesus.  That means 254 volunteers were also present, running computers, playing worship music, leading crews, leading games, making meals, and so on.

Yes, it's a big deal.

Daily Life-Change Blogs

And ultimately, what makes it such a big deal is what happens in people's hearts over the week--with the kids, their families, parents not familiar with Horizons, and with the leaders.  For the next week, I'll be posting blogs daily about the life-change happening within and because this event.  They'll be authored by whomever the Spirit chooses to reveal himself to.  Be sure to catch these authentic sightings of what God's doing here!

And so, this year we're pushing for another record attendance and registration number.  The energy is high right now with people bustling here and there, wailing on guitars, waiting in printer lines, and getting into their "Expedition Gear" for tonight's theme.  It's a great environment.

But do we ever get tired?  Will the energy ever wear down?  Will the numbers finally peak?  The answers are sure, at times, and ALL of this is truly in God's hands!  We get frantic from time to time, many of us make big sacrifices to take off from work to get here in time, and there are tons of things going on behind the scenes not even I know about!  And no matter what, we keep going.  This is for God, and God hasn't given up on us yet.

Here's to VBS 2015!  More to come!
