Why iOpeners student cards? These cards get kids—and their families—talking about God. Surprising questions and eye-opening Bible verses prompt families to dive deep into God’s Word and experience God’s love.

How do they work? Kids practice with their Crews during snack time. After VBS, each child takes a set of cards home to launch conversations about God with their families.

Where do families use iOpeners?Anywhere! Everywhere! In the car…at dinner…on a road trip…in a restaurant…any place, any time! These cards get families in the habit of talking—and even busy parents can fi nd time for these engaging, faith-building conversations.

By the end of the week, you’ll have 3-D “God Sighting writing” reminding everyone of God Sightings! Every banner holds about 200 cotton balls—enough space for about 200 kids.

Give Kids the Chance to Save Lives We’ve partnered with World Vision, Group

Cares, and churches like yours with the goal

of stamping out malaria in the nation of Mali,

Africa. All it takes is love, prayer…and just over

a million specially-treated mosquito nets given

to at-risk kids! Together, we’ll make it happen—

and share God’s love with kids who need it.

It’s Easy…Kids learn about Operation Kid-to-Kid™ during

Sky High Movie & Missions each day. There,

kids “meet” a real person from Mali on one of

the Operation Kid-to-Kid posters, helping kids

put a face to this life-saving project.

Plus, your kids will create personalized

Friendship Cards for distribution with the

mosquito nets in Mali—a warm, personal

way to share God’s love and hope!

Save a Nation—Squash Malaria in MaliMission Project Essentials

MALARIA FACTS

Ñ Every 30 seconds a child dies from malaria.

Ñ Mosquitoes infect millions of children each year.

Ñ One bed net can protect two children for 4 years. Ñ One bed net can protect two children for 4 years.

Every time kids prayed aloud, they prayed for the kids in Mali. We’ve been testing VBS for more than 16 years…and that’s the fi rst time we’ve seen kids so passionate about helping others.

HOW OK2K WORKS

Before VBSOrder a Bugs Pray-er Clip for each child at

your VBS—plus a few extras to ensure you

have enough. These mosquito-shaped clips

are powerful reminders of the impact your

kids will have on malaria in Mali.

During VBSAs children bring monetary donations (any

size!) for this project, they’ll clip a Bugs

Pray-er Clip to the untreated Operation Kid-to-Kid Display Mosquito Net in your Up &

Away Sing & Play area. Soon it will look like a

swarm of mosquitoes are trying to slip through

the net—but they can’t! A great reminder

of all the mosquitoes you’ll keep away from

sleeping children in Mali.

After VBSOn the last day of VBS, each child takes home

a Bugs Pray-er Clip as a reminder to keep

praying for children in Mali. (Shhh, it’s a

surprise so don’t tell the kids!) You’ll tally up

your donations and send one check—and your

kids’ Friendship Cards—to Group Cares.

Your cards and your gift—all of it—will be

forwarded to World Vision to buy specially-

treated mosquito nets. We’ll track the number

of nets sent to Mali through Operation

Kid-to-Kid!

“VBS P.R.O. rocks! It saves me a ton of time to do

necessary admin tasks, leaving me more time to focus

on other VBS needs. All of the electronic resources

enable me to be a more effi cient VBS director. One

of my favorites is the “Create Shopping List”—no

more guesstimating how many supplies I need for

snacks or spending tons of time fi guring it out. Plug

in the number of kids, click, and your shopping list is

calculated!”
