2005 VBS Mission Offering Project

Mission: H2O
Want to rev up your VBS mission offering and give your kid an opportunity to shower kids
around the world with Gods blessings? Challenge them to respond to an exciting new Kids
Reaching Kids assignment that will change the lives of families and entire communities forever Mission: H2O !
Serving as a horrific reminder to us all about the importance of fresh, clean water, the recent
tsunami disaster in Asia graphically illustrates to us that H2O, otherwise known as water, is essential for sustaining life. Therefore, the money collected for the 2005 VBS Mission Offering
Project will be used to dig fresh water wells in several world areas, including the Philippines,
Nicaragua, and Liberia. By participating in this project, kids are doing more than helping people
gain access to fresh clean H2O. They are sharing the love of Jesus Christ the Living Water!
All Nazarene churches that order the J-Force VBS program will receive a packet containing a
full-color poster, brochure and a humorous yet informative three minute DVD presentation of
the Kids Reaching Kids Mission Offering Project for 2005, Mission: H2O.
