Bogard Press VBS

At Jungle River Adventure VBS, students and teachers alike learn from Apostle Paul to seek God's perfect plan for their lives.

The adventure begins on the road to Damascus with Paul's salvation, and then it continues to Damascus where Paul is baptized. We join Paul with other believers in Antioch before paddling to Corinth, where Paul witnesses to others. Finally, we end up in Rome where Paul lives out the rest of his life as a follower of Jesus.
