Strengths -
Unique mission project - I'd like the material to be a bit thicker, but this is a great idea and children will really connect with this project!
Incredible lessons - creative, engaging, exciting - these lessons truly involve kids!
Daily application activities!
Time allowed after each activity for kids to connect with their leaders - excellent!
Challenges -
Need information to help churches set their goal for their vbs
Chadder theater - couldn't you develop a new station and leave Chadder for the preschoolers? Or, better yet, just be done with the whole Chadder Theater and develop a more imaginative, engaging and applicable station to replace it
It seems many of the lessons are "repeats" from last year . . . I'd like to see you vary your scope a bit and bring in lessons that are new/different

Mission Project!
Group's Fiesta is a true fiesta! This VBS is written with loads of enthusiasm - volunteers and children will love it! Other publishers should take a serious look at how you write your Bible lessons . . . true, not everyone can have a Mikal Keefer/people who understand how he writes to write for them, but your Bible lessons are unmatched in creativity, imagination, how they truly involve kids and connect to the point! You have shown it is possible to have a easy VBS that is truly fun, really teaches children about Jesus and how to live what they learn! Tremendously well done, Group!
