COORDINATOR’S CORNER

June 2017 REACHING OUT WITH WBS Is your congregation hosting a VACATION BIBLE SCHOOL this Summer? How about a Fall festival or Trunk N’ Treat this Fall? WBS Children’s Series booklets make great take home gifts for children who attend. Sending the first booklet home with an invitation for parents to study it with their kids and send the answer sheet back for grading can be a great outreach tool. Also, we can help you prepare and send home an attractive handout like the one pictured here, inviting the reader to sign up to study WBS lessons with one of your congregation’s members through your Connect program. Call us at 512-345-8190 to learn more.

WBS SEMINARS IN ZIMBABWE There will be two WBS seminars in Zimbabwe this Summer. Please invite your Zim students (via email if you have their address) to attend one of these events if they are nearby. •

A WORD FROM PAT (Pat Brown, who heads WBS’ fundraising efforts, has asked to share the following message with you.) Greetings, and thanks for using WBS to share the Gospel! Each year WBS places emphasis on “Impact Sunday”, a day when churches can make a special contribution to support WBS world evangelism. I would love to contact your church about Impact Sunday (which you hold any Sunday you choose). Could you email me ([email protected]) the name, email address and phone number of the right person to contact? I’ll share with them how your church can partner with WBS to do even more to spread the Gospel in a lost and dying world. Thank you, again, for all you do.

WBS 2017 BENEFIT DINNERS WBS Dinner season is upon us. We have already held one dinner in Huntsville AL, with six more scheduled between now and September. These dinners provide an evening of great fellowship and an opportunity to learn the latest about WBS and what’s happening now and planned for the future. If you can, please attend a dinner near you. (For locations and dates/times, see the next page or go to www.worldbibleschool.net/events.



WHAT’S YOUR LATEST GOOD NEWS? Are you using WBS in new or creative ways? Do you have inspirational stories to share about how WBS has helped your students come to know Christ? Do you have WBS study helpers on your team who deserve some special recognition? If any of these apply, please give me a call (512-345-8190) or email me ([email protected]) and tell me about it. I’m always looking for positive stories that I can share with other WBS study helpers, and would love to hear about yours!
