Mom Achieves 100% VBS Coverage
Three boys attended church programs every week of the summer
MONTGOMERY, AL – Mothers around the nation rejoiced earlier this month as children grudgingly made their way back to school. But for Sandy Eaton, this year’s celebration was oh so much sweeter.
“I finally did it,” Eaton said, tipping her head back and shaking it at the sky with tears in her eyes. “I’m sorry. It’s just, you have no idea how many long years this has taken.”
Eaton is celebrating because, for the first time, she managed to find VBS programs for her three school-age boys every week of the summer.
“You don’t know how wonderful it is,” she said. “They finished school on a Friday, and on Monday it was off to Montgomery Church of the Nazarene for Amazon Expedition. It was like the school year never ended at all.”
“She’s my hero,” said Erica Cranford, who lives on Eaton’s street. “I have two kids, and I can only hope I’ll come close to accomplishing what she has some day. That is one dedicated mother.”
Now that she’s finally accomplished her goal, Eaton plans to share her joy with others.

She may have used to system for her benefit, but perhaps in one or more of those churches the boys got the Word into their spirits. That is what VBS is for is it not? Or maybe it's just for the privileged and the well intentioned.
All Bible believing churches should rejoice at the prospect of ministering to children whose parents don't care!
