This is the most creative setting for a VBS this year! I love the "traveling" around the world with the kids - tremendous creativity and imagination! If Standard would "boost" their "connections" - helps for leaders and kids to connect, lessons that involve kids more, daily application activities - they could have a truly great VBS! The "basics" are there with this VBS so with a little "tweeking" a church could provide a great VBS opportunity for the children in their church and community! Well done, Standard!
