A week ago we were starting to rap up another successful VBS. As usual, it was a great week filled with fun activities, food, crafts and most importantly teaching the children of our community about God. It is always a challenge to capture the attention of almost 200 children, but the use of technology always helps out! I believe that through the use of effect lighting, video, and obviously sound (very loud music!) we can really capture the youth of our society. Most children are very used to watching tv, going to movies, or playing video games. If we want to reach these children, we have to do it in a way that they can identify with. All the lights, video and etc. are just tools to help them get excited and want to come back night after night. I know it is successful when my 2 year old son crys because VBS is over and he wants to go back to church! Is all the hype (technology) necessary? No, but if God gave us the mission to reach the world... maybe it is!
