2009 OK2K – Rome Program Overview

Monthly Bible Readers.
How you can serve the underground church--and change lives!
Ehab is 10 years old. His family lives in a village set deep in an impoverished rural area of the Middle East. 

And while Ehab and his family live on the brink of poverty, he considers himself the richest boy in his village. Ehab has a treasure--one he keeps tucked beneath his straw mattress.
It's not a Bible. Owning one would be an invitation to his radical neighbors to "purify" him and his family of their religious beliefs. To be caught reading a Bible wouldn't do--but hidden beneath his mattress is a short stack of My Monthly Bible Reader magazines, simple "comic books" that fly beneath his village's disapproving glare.

You see, Ehab is a Christian--as is his entire family. They're the underground church. During your Rome VBS, you and your kids will visit an "underground church." You'll share with those first-century believers what the Apostle Paul taught and what you experienced in the Roman Marketplace. You'll offer much-needed encouragement.

Through Operation Kid-to-Kid, you'll do precisely that for real--and give children like Ehab a powerful opportunity to grow in their faith.
