We are about 2 weeks away from Community VBS. During these final weeks we are praying for our different areas.So far we have covered Family Leaders, Snacks, Crafts and games. This week we focus on Bible Time!
The Bible stories are the foundation of VBS. The lessons are what drives the games, snacks, crafts and music. The Bible story leader is also a representative of the Community VBS. Their character,witness, love of the Word and love of children are vital to communicating Biblical truths to children. This year we are blessed with Mikey Bishop as our Bible teacher. Mikey and his wife Val are rock solid Christians and he has a long history of ministry to youth and a great heart for the poor.
Mikey will play the role of the Apostle Paul under arrest in Rome. He will share with the kids the adventures he has experienced with Jesus. Mikey will also have a person role playing a Roman guard who will hear the good news about Jesus for the first time right along with the kids. This is sure to be exciting, inspirational and fun. Here are some suggested prayers for our Bible story leader:

* Pray that Mikey will be lead of God in his preparation for the lessons
* Pray that God will help Mikey in the role of Paul
* Pray the God would plow up good soil in kids hearts to receive the seeds of the Gospel
* Pray that God would bless the person who plays the role of the Roman guard
* Ask God to keep the distractions low and the kids attention levels high
* Pray that God would help the fruits of His Spirit to be bountiful in this station during VBS week
* pray for whatever else God lays on your heart for Bible story time
* ask God to show you whatever else He would have you pray for concerning the Bible Story Time
