We are a just a few hours away from Community VBS. During these final days we are praying for the different areas that make up our VBS.So far we have covered Family Leaders, Snacks, Crafts, games and Bible Time. Now let us turn our attention to the teens.
We average around 90-100 kids for VBS. And we usually have about 30 or more teens show up to help as well. That means that the teens make up over one quarter of the everyone who attends VBS! That is a lot of teens. In the College Corner area many of the families do not have the financial resources to go on vacation or weekend getaways. So the teens end up hanging around town the whole summer and become very bored. VBS week is a big break in their regular summer routine!
Many of these teens are not involved with our local congregations. VBS is one of the few places where they hear the good news about Jesus. I have been encouraged how many are willing to get involved and help with serving the smaller children. They have a servants heart and they need to have their hearts filled with the savior Jesus Christ. Here are some prayer points to focus on for our teens:
* Pray that the teens will have open hearts to the Gospel
* Pray that the adults have patience with the teens
* Pray that the teens behave themselves and are cooperative
* Pray that many would repent and follow Christ
* Pray for those struggling in their relationships with their parents
* Pray that the teens find congregations that they can connect with and be discipled
* Ask God to show you other needs of the teens that you can pray for
