VBS Project 2021
Every year, children in United Brethren Vacation Bible Schools raise funds for a UB Global project of some kind. In 2021, they raised money to help buy three vehicles for use on our international fields. They more than doubled the goal!
The 2021 project involves raising funds to provide vehicles for our mission work in Thailand and Sierra Leone. UB Global has produced a variety of resources—videos, printed materials, discussion questions, and more–to help make your VBS successful. The videos and other resources spotlight our missionary children in Sierra Leone and Thailand.
Videos
UB Global has produced five short videos about the project. Use the introductory video and the “Cars Make Ministry Go” at the beginning of your VBS, and the others as appropriate.
Other Resources
We also have bookmarks on the Glunt and McCammon children, discussion questions, artwork, and information about the parents.

Thailand
Brian and Rachel Glunt and children serve in Chiang Rai, one of the major cities in northern Thailand.

John and Amber McCammon and their three children will be heading to Mattru Hospital in Sierra Leone soon! We are looking to help them purchase a vehicle for their family once they arrive.
