No Friend Like Jesus VBS Starter Kit 2012

By: Abingdon Press | No Friend Like Jesus VBS

No Friend Like Jesus: Get Connected!

From the African talking drum to the smart-phone, people like to stay connected with friends and family. With this program, kids will connect with God and community in a Bible-based, social networking progression from image to profile to update to friends, ultimately sending a message about faith in Jesus Christ.

Through Scripture, music, tech-speech, movement, crafts, app daps, video, skits, and games, kids will grow in positive self-image and self-worth through Jesus Christ. They will experience Christian community face-to-face and with technology. Kids will discover a Black Tech connection while finding that Jesus is their BFF (best friend forever)!
