REACH: Operation Kid-2-Kid
Operation Kid-2-Kid
"God Loves Me" blankets help provide security for children in great need.
Thousands of children all over the world have it much worse than our kids here in Orange County. Some are left without parents, others without homes and many without hope.
Just about everything we do at VBS is set up to give our kids the best week of their lives. We want to give our kids at VBS an opportunity to minister to other kids all over the world. That's why we are partnering with Operation Kid-to-Kid and Operation Mobilization to help children at High Seas Expedition VBS share the message of God's love in a warm, tangible way. Our kids will join with other VBS groups to send hundreds of "God Loves Me" blankets all over the world.
It’s our small step of blanketing the world with the mighty love of God.
Here's how we do it:
During our Missions rotation in VBS, our kids will hear from our missionaries, the Yabuki family, who will be talking about ministry on an international level. They’ll be sharing about how God has brought the entire world to them in Texas and how God is sending Operation Mobilization ship, Logos Hope, all over the world to tell others about God.
On Day 5, each "crew" of kids makes a warm, comforting blanket that proclaims "God Loves Me!" right in the fabric. Kids will then pray for the special child who will soon receive their gift.
After VBS, those blankets are delivered to the kids aboard the Logos Hope ship who will then deliver these blankets to kids in every port they visit until they have all been given away!
