We are currently working to have five one-day VBS in the month of August which will take place on Saturdays from 10-2. I am very close to securing a facility to hold these Bible schools, which I will share details on later (once the details have been finalized).
We are budgeting for 120 kids (four classes with 30 kids each) and are praying for the Lord to send workers for the harvest. If you are interested in helping, call me at (325) 200-8531 (cell) or at home at (325) 641-1715.
Our objective with these VBS's are to (a) Lead kids to a saving knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ, (b) to identify and recruit prospective core-group members and (c) to recruit members for our Parents of Purpose program.
Another possible outcome of these VBS's is the development of a Saturday Bible Club (can you spell D-I-S-C-O-V-E-R-Y?) for kids... of course, we'll have to see what God does.

Mission: Brownwood developmental stages - POPs
My wife is a genious... shhhhh! It'll be our secret.
One group of people that mine and Jessica's heart goes out to is parents of young children. According to the demographics of Brownwood, TX, approximately 30% of households have a child less than one year of age.
In an effort to minister to this demo (parents of young children), Jessica came up with the idea to launch a "Parents of Purpose" group... aka POPs. POPs is similar to MOPS, but it meets at night (to accomodate parents who work) and it includes fathers, mothers and blended families.
It works like this. The parents bring their children to the house, church building, or meeting facility. Someone stays behind to care for the children, show them a film and teach them a Bible lesson while the parents go out to dinner and a devotional program. Mom and dad get out, network with other parents, and get discipled and encouraged in the process.
POPs is one Mission: Brownwood ministry to which I am looking forward.
