Kids Reaching Kids Enables Vacation Bible School in Armenia

Vacation Bible School (VBS) is a key ministry in Armenia. It is an evangelistic tool to attract and invite new children. It is also a perfect way for disciplining them. Last year’s VBS theme was “Follow Jesus here, there, and everywhere.” Armenian children enjoy the VBS to the maximum, and it is one of the most expected activities of the year.

In 2023, four local churches in the Armenia District were supported with funds provided by Kids Reaching Kids (KRK) to support their local VBS and related activities. However, Armenian children also raised an offering for KRK to support and be a small part of the great KRK outreach.

VBS is held in our Yerevan, Akhuryan, Maralik, and Gyumri churches during July and August. The sessions last four to five hours each day and include many different activities, such as:

• Worship

• Bible stories

• Discipleship

• Bible verse activities

• Crafts

• Games

• Cooking lessons

• Music and worship time

• Community activities

The greatest testimony is that the children continue attending our kids clubs, learning more about Jesus Christ as their Lord and Savior. One notable outcome is that today in the Armenia District, VBS and the kids camps are planned, organized, and implemented by the teenagers and youth who themselves were once VBS participants—a blessed harvest that the Lord gave us after so many years of hard work.

We are very grateful for the support in reaching children and their families for the Lord. Thank you for being part of our ministries.
