 THEME: Jesus called out to them, “Come, follow me, and I will show you how to fish for people!” ~ Matthew 4:19 (NLT) Motto: I’m Hooked! God desires that we know Him and make Him known. As we grow in our knowledge of Him, we discover His love for all people and His heart for the nations. This year during VBS, we encourage you to engage deeply with God and let Him reel you into His mission. Embracing His mission means following Jesus and being willing to share God’s message of deliverance, hope, redemption, repentance, and salvation. So, get hooked with God, grab your fishing rod, and let’s fish for those who need to hear and come into the knowledge of God’s saving grace. As a result of experiencing these lessons, participants will: • discover God’s heart for the nations. • share God’s message of hope and salvation with others.
