VBS FOLLOW-UP : Action Steps

Few ministries of the church have the evangelistic impact and potential of VBS. However, the number of decisions recorded during VBS is really just the tip of the iceberg for churches that follow-up well with children, parents, grandparents, and siblings of children discovered through VBS.

In the week or two following VBS, the family of every new child who attended should receive a personal visit from someone in the church who shares information about children’s programs and other ministries in which the family might be interested.

It’s an all-out effort to let first-time visitors know they are welcome and that church members really care about them and their children. You may want to have your regular church visitation team handle the VBS visitation follow-up, as they are trained to share their witness and the plan of salvation with people who don’t know the Lord. Family members often accept Christ due to the message, excitement and involvement of their children in VBS.
