Present Needs – We need creative people (adults 21 years old), especially a person who loves to serve God and be VBS director for the next 3 years. IDEA: a person who has young kids could serve, and when her kids get older, could pass leadership on to next person. (Don’t have to have kids necessarily, it’s just an example) Are those needs being met today? – No. We have lots of young people who are interested to help VBS, but we are missing young adults who already settled their lives and could help. Let’s be honest, we have people who are off summers; they are just scared to step in or take responsibility. God is never scared to step in to help us, love
