This year, St. Paul's VBS students joined SonForce Kids—God’s courageous team of disciples standing side by side to serve Him. As SonForce special agents, they followed in the words of Joshua 1:9: Be strong and courageous. Do not be terrified: do not be discouraged, for the Lord your God will be with you wherever you go.

The SonForce Kids headquarters is located on a satellite orbiting high above the earth. In this hi-tech command center, SonForce agents gather to prepare for their five Daily Missions: Trust! Unite! Train! Follow! Lead! Throughout VBS, our students had the opportunity to grow in their understanding of what it means to serve God with courage as they advanced from Level 1 to Level 5 agents.

From the courage shown by baby Moses’ family, Level 1 agents learned to TRUST in God’s Plans. Following Esther’s example, Level 2 agents were encouraged to UNITE with God’s People. To help them make wise choices like Daniel did, Level 3 agents learned to TRAIN for God’s Service. Just as Jeremiah obeyed God even when it was difficult, Level 4 agents learned to FOLLOW in God’s Path. Finally, like Joshua and Caleb, Level 5 agents were ready to LEAD Others to God’s Promises.
