1. Ashland Baptist Church – This will be their second year to do a month-long VBS that they call “July 4 Jesus.” A different curriculum is used each week. They need three youth teams to each conduct one week of VBS (They have one team committed already). Housing and food will be provided for the guest teams. The VBS curriculum will be provided in advance of arrival for the teams so they can train prior to coming. “July 4 Jesus” is from 9-12 a.m.--break for lunch—and continue from 1-3 p.m. Lunch will be provided for the guest team and for the kids. The church will plan events and activities in the evenings for the guest team and the youth. The guest team will lead an evangelistic service on Friday night of their week.
