Impact Stories
I attended AFF VBS for the first time. It was an opportunity for me to learn more about the bible. I had a lot of fun and many more things. I needed this kind of teaching that can help change my life as a youth. The teaching we received taught me that I am not alone, and I am loved. I look forward to next year’s VBS.

Participant Testimonial 2
“As trainer, I am also thankful that I got the opportunity to experience VBS this year. By engaging with the youth, I ended up learning a lot myself. This was a learning experience for me. These 3 days spent with the youth helped me grow. During the first day, we had a handful of kids. The number kept growing the second and third day. These kids were shown love as God would.”
