BGMC

I love Vacation Bible School so much! I remember as a kid God calling me into ministry as a kid at VBS. I know God can touch the lives of small children and lead them into the ministry he has for them.

You see when I was like 15 or 16 years old my Great Grandma was dying. And we went to visit her at the hospital. I remember her not making too much sense. But before I left she looked at me and said, "Ashley speak to the children they are the ones who will listen to you." She repeated it a few more time to me. I didn't really know at the time what all that would mean in my life but I been trying to talk to children since then about Jesus.

Matthew 19:14 says, Jesus said, "Let the little children come to me, and do not hinder them, for the kingdom of heaven belongs to such as these." 

At our Vacation Bible school we try to encourage our kids to seek God with everything they have in their hearts. Also we try to encourage them to bring offering for BGMC (Boys and Girls Missionary Challenge). Where all the offering goes to help missionaries through the Assemblies of God church that are reaching out to kids in need. We see some powerful stories from our missionaries from all over the world of how BGMC has helped them.


But let me tell you something. BGMC reaches to more then you or I could. Our change helps real kids around the world come to know about Jesus. Some of these kids may not know who Jesus is at all and get to know who Jesus is for the first time. Which is AWESOME!!! Our change that we give to missions is great because we are helping the great commission to happen.

I love seeing the hearts of the kids giving to missions and seeing these kid's hearts be changed to follow Jesus. I am so happy I listened to God and to what my Great Grandma said. I know the kids will listen to what I have to tell them about God. But it excites me to help be a part of the great commission.
