u Show the child the devotions in the New Testament and suggest that he use them for the next
30 days.
u Invite the child to attend the I’m a Christian Now! class and give his parents details about when
and where the class will meet. If necessary, offer to pick up the child and bring him to the class.
Cond u c t I’ m a Christian Now! Cl a s s e s
u Conduct the classes following the instructions found in the leader pack.
u Encourage the children to use their activity books to begin having their own quiet time at home.
u Consider giving each child a Bible signed by your pastor or his VBS teacher at the close of the
I’m a Christian Now! class or when the child has completed the 30 days of devotions in the VBS

2. New Testament.
Continu e Y o u r F o l l o w - u p Ef f o r t s
u Help children and their parents understand the importance of baptism, the benefits of church
membership, and regular attendance at Sunday School.
u Set a time for the pastor to meet with the child and his parents, if possible.
u Set a date for the child to be baptized if the parents approve and work with them to attend.
u Keep in touch with the children for one year. Children who made professions of faith in VBS need
concerned Christian teachers to love and encourage them in the faith. Send cards, greet them in
the church halls, visit in their home as appropriate, and answer their questions as needed.
