Equipping Volunteers for Gospel Speaking Sometimes, we don't tell others of Jesus' saving and transforming love because we're afraid we'll say something wrong or offend someone. Sometimes, we just don't know what to say! Here are two easy methods for speaking the Gospel and sharing God's love in Christ Jesus. Encourage volunteers to practice sharing in this way with a partner. Practice and prayer puts you more at ease with this important work that God has given us. (Another Gospel-sharing resource using the Take-Home Points is on the Director USB.) Personalize John 3:16: Insert a person's name into the verse. For example, "God so loved Mary, that He gave His only Son for Mary, that if Mary believes in Him, Mary should not perish but Mary will have eternal life." Sin, Separation, Savior: Present the Gospel with these three key words. All people sin. Sin separates us from God. God knew we couldn't make our sin go away. Because God loves us, He sent His Son, Jesus, as our Savior. Jesus lived without sin and then died on the cross as the perfect sacrifice to pay for our sin. Those who believe in Jesus receive God's gifts of forgiveness of sin and eternal life. 3 2020 VBS Mission Project: Sharing the Treasure Together with Concordia Gospel Outreach, we'll collect offerings for sharing God's message with the children of Papua New Guinea: their very own books that share God's Word with them. Included in the Starter Kit, the Mission Brochure provides additional project information and folds out to a poster that can be used to track donations. There are five videos explaining the Mission Project to show during your Opening. Site Rotation A site-rotation program makes VBS flexible and fun!
