Churches using RBP’s Stompers & Chompers made “ground-shaking strides,” sharing the Good News with students and helping Christian kids build their faith in God’s big plan.
Rejoice with them! Here is a sampling.
Rejoice!
New Estate Baptist Church in Surlere, Logos, Nigeria reports, “To God’s glory and praise our VBS ended yesterday. The Lord brought a little over 700 children our way to hear the Good News about Jesu Christ. What a privilege!” New Estate Baptist Church posted a recap video on YouTube.
In Burnaby, British Columbia, Canada, Anchor Baptist Church had two “precious children come forward for salvation” on the second-to-last night of VBS. The church says, “To God be all the glory.”
Bible Baptist Church in Fort Mill, S.C., held its VBS mid-July. A Stompers & Chompers float drew attention at the town’s Independence Day Parade. A church in Little Falls, Minn., and one in Kent City, Mich., also had a float in their town parades.

Meanwhile, Florence (S.C.) Baptist Temple posted, “Thank you to every parent, child, and volunteer who made this such a great week of VBS!! Stompers and Chompers Vacation Bible School left a DINO-sized impact on lots of little souls! Praise the Lord for so many young ones hearing the promises from God’s Word this week!”
In California, Los Gatos, First Baptist Community Church says, “We had a great three nights at Stompers and Chompers VBS! We are so thankful for each of the kids that came and each of our volunteers!”
Just outside of Baton Rouge, La., Fellowship Baptist Church of Central Greenwell Springs rejoices in a high attendance of 71, with over 60 all week and more than 40 volunteers. “On Saturday we do a Family Fun Celebration Day. We do the presentation for parents, then serve everyone lunch. We rent two water slides for kids to enjoy, water balloons, and Sno Cones. I always pray for 80% of families to participate and God has answered that prayer past two years,” says James French, pastor of discipleship, evangelism & outreach. James says the parents enjoyed the time with their children. And, as a result of the day, the church presented the gospel and continued to have gospel conversations with parents during lunch. James reports, “No known salvations but definitely seeds planted and watered.
Rejoice Again!
