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”?
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.
We trust that the Lord will use this vacation Bible school to help reverse this sad trend by equipping today’s children with the answers they seek. We have designed Operation Space 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.
Operation Space is a Vacation Bible School curriculum in the Answers VBS series produced by Answers in Genesis.
