An action-packed Vacation Bible School (VBS) program with biblical integrity, excitement, and fun!

Recent surveys show that nearly 70% of “Christian” kids grow up and walk away from the church. One of the main reasons is because they have not been taught basic “apologetics.” This revolutionary new VBS for 2008 is designed to answer the key questions that cause so many young people to walk away from the Lord. Kids take an Amazon Expedition that explores the “7 C’s of History” while teaching them that the Bible is the true history book of the universe.

Amazon Expedition was created under the direction of Barb and Randy Witt, whose years of passionate, hands-on experience in VBS writing and directing makes this program easy to use and incredibly effective.

The 5-day, 7 C’s adventure includes:

• Day 1 - Creation–Destination Creation
• Day 2 - Corruption–The Fall of All
• Day 3 - Catastrophe–Water, Water Everywhere
• Day 4 - Confusion–The Babel Rabble
• Day 5 - Christ, Cross, Consummation–Sad Turns to Glad

Kids learn that the Bible is totally true through …

• awesome crafts,
• radical games,
• yummy snacks,
• highly memorable songs, and
• evangelistic Bible teaching.

Amazon Expedition in action!

Recently, Northwest Bible Church—a church in central Ohio that offers VBS programs every summer—piloted Amazon Expedition for 2008 with 1,200 children, plus adults and teen workers. They had their best overall turnout ever and everyone was thrilled with the in-depth teaching on the 7 C’s of history and had a blast learning about the Amazon rainforest! (Psst! Don't tell the kids they're learning. They just think they're having fun!)
