The Wrangell VBS team embarked on their annual mission trip to Bethel SDA Church in early June, marking their 11th consecutive year (albeit missing 2020) of faithful service to this community. This year's Vacation Bible School centered around the inspiring theme of Nehemiah, exploring themes of rebuilding, restoration, and God's faithfulness.
Over the course of five days, three dedicated team members worked alongside two local volunteers to provide a rich program for up to 20 children. The week was packed with engaging activities, including crafts, story time, nature exploration, and community service projects that helped children understand Nehemiah's mission of rebuilding. A highlight was the prayer wall, where children could share their hearts with God.
New this year was "Nehemiah's Good Booth," a creative addition that taught kids about healthy eating through exploring fruits and vegetables. One of the most memorable moments came when children successfully learned a particularly challenging memory verse, demonstrating their eagerness to grow in God's Word.
"It may seem chaotic at time, but this is why we come," reflected one team member, capturing the beautiful reality of ministry—that God works powerfully even amid busy, energetic moments with children.
The strength of this ministry lies in its consistency and unwavering focus on children. After 11 years, the relationship between our churches has deepened through faithful service and shared mission.
We invite others to consider joining this meaningful ministry, especially youth who are seeking mission trip opportunities. There's always room for more hands and hearts in this vital work of sharing God's love with the next generation.
