Global Ministries Vacation Bible School and Summer Youth Camp Ideas for Special Giving Projects

Ideas for Vacation Bible School, Summer Camp Programs, and Other Fun Activities for Children and Youth

Greetings from Global Ministries! We are pleased to invite you to include Global Ministries in your plans for Vacation Bible School and Summer Youth events and camps.

Summer Camp Programs, Vacation Bible School, and other special summer activities are exciting times in the life of the church, and can be a wonderful opportunity to introduce children, youth, young adults, and people of all ages to the global mission of the church. There are a number of curricula that churches are choosing from for these programs, and Global Ministries is pleased to assist congregations to supplement these different curriculums with materials that provide a global perspective and are linked to vital ministries carried out by Global Ministries and its partners.

Global Ministries is pleased to highlight the following areas in particular where we can be of assistance for Vacation Bible School:
