The Armenian Missionary Association of Canada (AMAC) applauds the children of the Vacation Bible School (VBS) of the Armenian Evangelical Church of Toronto for their generous and mission-minded hearts. We also commend the VBS organizers for encouraging the children to help those who are less fortunate.
For five days, the 98 children had a blast learning and playing together. They explored new topics, expressed their creativity, and deepened their faith in Christ through the engaging and inspiring program.
The children also showed their compassion by giving a daily offering. They collected $2,182.85 for the AMAC to sponsor four children and provide 325 students with nutritious meals for 3 days at the Armenian Evangelical Shamlian Tatigian Secondary School.
The VBS was made possible by a committee of five volunteers, led by Ani Torosian; the committee members, Maral Engeian, Armine Torunian, Nathalie Balabanian, and Talene Balian, were joined by many teachers and youth workers who generously gave their time and talents for a whole week.
