2009 Ukraine VBS Planning Committee

Thoughts of Faith (ToF) Lutheran Mission Society, a church-related organization of the Evangelical Lutheran Synod, has for more than 10 years partnered with the Ukrainian Lutheran Church (ULC) to plan and carry out an extensive Vacation Bible School (VBS) program. In keeping with the “Great Commission,” the goal of the VBS program is to spread the saving Gospel message to unbelievers throughout Ukraine.

The 2009 Ukraine VBS Planning Committee is pictured above. They have already met three times and are developing the Bible lesson plans, craft projects, songs in English and Ukrainian and simple English lessons. A five-year lesson plan has been developed and we are currently in the third year of that plan with the theme: Jesus Gives Freedom.

Volunteers are needed to carry out this important program. In the summer of 2008 there were 46 volunteers, including students from Luther Prep, WISCO, Michigan Lutheran Seminary, Bethany Lutheran College and Wisconsin Lutheran College. The dates for 2009 are June 30 through July 14. The minimum age requirement for high school students is to currently be in their junior or senior year of high school.
