Looking for a VBS curriculum?

If you asked the children of your church and community how they felt about the Bible, what would their response be? Would they consider the Word of God relevant to their lives and interesting to learn from? Or would it seem irrelevant and trumped by “science”? Would they know how to answer questions about when the dinosaurs lived or if the world began with a big bang?

A recent survey by America’s Research Group revealed that an alarming number of young people are leaving the church after they graduate because their questions about the Bible had not been answered. Respondents indicated that Sunday School materials were shallow and irrelevant. Of those polled, 86% had begun to question the Bible by their high school years. Of those who said they did not believe all the accounts in the Bible are true, 82% cited doubts about the Bible’s authority or its trustworthiness.

To help counter this sad trend, Answers in Genesis has started its own VBS program and is pleased to announce that Amazon Expedition: The Ultimate Trek Through Time is now shipping! With this fun-filled, information-packed Vacation Bible School program, children will learn the true history of the world, as revealed in the Bible. By aswering questions about dinosaurs, rocks, fossils, and the age of the earth, this apologetic VBS will equip your children like no other and will enable you to effectively present the gospel to those who are without Christ.

With Amazon Expedition, you will journey off the beaten path through the amazing Amazon, experiencing the breathtaking beauty, the wilderness wonder, and the dreadful danger of remote areas of the rainforest. Behind every bend and high in every tree new treasures are just waiting to be discovered. But that’s not the only journey you will be on. You will also experience the ultimate biblical trek through time as you follow the “history book of the universe” (the Bible) on a tour of the “seven C’s of history”: Creation, Corruption, Catastrophe, Confusion, Christ, Cross, and Consummation.

We have designed Amazon Expedition to provide solid Bible-based teaching, delivered in a fun and entertaining way, that counters the misinformation about the Bible and science that children encounter daily. They'll learn (among many other things!) that God created dinosaurs 6,000 years (along with man), that man's sin corrupted the once-perfect creation, that Noah's Flood formed many of the rock and fossil layers found around the world, that the events at Babel resulted in a variety of language families and people groups, and that their Creator came to earth to be their Savior from sin.

We trust that the Lord will use this VBS to equip young children with the answers they seek.
