The bottom line for West Park's Vacation Bible School is that God was at work in a huge way!

During the week, 51 children made first time commitments to Jesus. Another 65 youngsters, including a crew leader, re-dedicated their lives to Him.

A 1999 Barna Survey found that children between the ages of 5 and 13 are most likely to accept Jesus as their savior.  And then the survey shows that almost 50 percent of born-again Christians in the United Sates made their decision for Christ before they became teenagers!

Vacation Bible Schools are a tremendous way for churches to reach children and for one week in August, it was clear that God was at work in a church in Southern New Jersey.

West Park United Methodist Church turned into what appeared to be an underwater ocean scene for this year's Vacation Bible School.  Run from August 4 - 8, the daily attendance averaged 210 with a top of 216 children present on Wednesday.

Each day we posted a slide presentation containing a synopsis of events, complete with pictures. They are linked below for your enjoyment!
