How it Works

PandaMania will make giving easy… and meaningful!

Here's how Operation Kid-to-Kid™ works:

Learning & Making
The kids at PandaMania will learn about Operation
Kid-to-Kid during Crazy Crafts & Missions.
Each day, kids "meet" a real child on one of the
Operation Kid-to-Kid posters, helping kids put a face to this heart-changing project. On Day 4, each child will decorate a backpack and a bookmark.

Blessing & OfferingBackpacks
During Rowdy Wrap-Up on Day 5, Crews bring their "Jesus Loves Me" backpacks (containing the special bookmarks) as an offering. This is a powerful, moving ceremony. Kids and leaders will be amazed as they see just how many colorful gifts they can send to children in Latin America. It's a concrete way for kids to see that it's easy to share God's love. (And it's a way for kids and adults to be a God Sighting to others!)

Packing & Sending
After VBS ends, it's time to box up the backpacks and bookmarks and send them to Biblica for distribution. Follow these simple steps to ensure that your items will be a special part of this incredible project.

  • Place the items in a sturdy shipping box, and include a check for
    $2 per backpack (made out to Biblica) to provide a Spanish Bible
    to the recipient of the backpack.

  • Seal the boxes, and mail them to:
