This is an awesome brand new, (totally) free resource available for Children's Ministry through a great mission organization. Most of the info below is straight from their web site. I really like getting free printable templates so I don't have to reinvent the wheel. It is also helpful to be able to pick and choose the pieces I wanted to use. I tried each of the activities and found that they are all super easy but meaningful and kids enjoyed them. It is made to be a VBS but I've also thought it would be useful for Sunday School, a one time event, a Mid-week type lesson or even just a family night. Hope Haven does have some great stories and pictures of real kids which I like. The email came right away when I requested it and everything was included.
We have given our VBS offering to Hope Haven a few times and found them to be easy to work with and helpful. The kids really seem to "get" the mission work of Hope Haven and are always really excited when they find out how many kids they provided wheelchairs to.
Here's the description:
Through the character “Agent Hope” you will be able to easily communicate the message while impacting in educating youth.
The program has 5 themes, one theme for each day of your VBS! On each day, children will join Agent Hope to meet a new friend from a different part of the world, learn about wheelchairs, dive into God’s word, and enjoy some fun together. Each lessons is short, easy to explain and fun!
You can use every activity for a particular theme or just choose the ones that meet your needs.
Theme 1: God gives us Community
Theme 2: God Knows Us
Theme 3: God gives us Hope
Theme 4: God gives us Joy
Theme 5: God loves Us
"This free program is sent straight to your inbox with short video instruction and can be printed on any printer. You’ll enjoy clear and concise lessons for each day of your VBS."
Every lesson points your kids back to the Word of God and Jesus while raising money to support Hope Haven International.
