Who is the Greatest?

I want to take a moment to ponder this question, who is most important in VBS? Here are some possibilities:
1. The leaders who meet and plan everything. 2. The leaders of the pre-school,crafts, games, snacks, bible lesson and music. 3. The people who purchase all the stuff for the snacks. 4. The folks that help mow and spray the Grove. 5. The pastors who share during unity service. All these are super important and I thank God for each and everyone, because without them VBS would be a mess.

Now the kids we are ministering to are what it is all about, they are the future of the body of Christ. They are our example of what we are to be like to be partakers of the kingdom of God-

(Jesus) said: "I tell you the truth, unless you change and become like little children, you will never enter the kingdom of heaven. Matthew 18:3

Since the kids are the focus it makes sense to me that the most important are the group leaders who are with the kids for the whole week. They are there one-on-one being Jesus in the skin to these little ones. They have the privilege of being with these kids when they hear the gospel for the first time! They get to see the awe and wonder in the face as they get to hear stories of Jesus walking on the water, healing the sick, raising the dead, for the first time in their life! They have the privilege of praying with these little guys as they walk with them into the throne room of God. They sweat with them, play with them and eat with them. They are Christ to them. We all are Christ to them. Let us pray that God will continue to bless us with great volunteers and great group leaders this summer!
