“If you want your children, teens, and adults to get caught up in VBS each year, I encourage you to use Reachout Adventures’ curricula. Reachout’s quality teaching and fun material generate excitement in our children and adult volunteers, and as my C.E. Director says, the curriculum is money well spent. I know and trust the folks who write and produce these schools; they deliver a good, sound product to train our boys and girls in the Word of God.”
— Rev. Randy Nabors, New City Fellowship Presbyterian Church, Chattanooga, TN
“I heartily recommend this material as the best I have seen. Not only is it theologically sound, it is orderly and easy to read and understand. The children who came were wildly enthusiastic.”
