VBS Adventure Inspires Baby Jonah's Name

Jazmin and Jakob Hansen were among the neighbor- hood children who attended vacation Bible school two summers ago at Florida Hospital Celebration Health. They were vibrant participants in the songs, lessons, and fun of Jonah's Overboard Adventure. "The kids really enjoyed the program—especially the music," recalls their mother, Liz Hansen. "We got a copy of the Overboard Adventure music and listen to it often." More than a year later, as the family waited the arrival of a new baby brother, it came time to choose a name. There was no question in the minds of Jazmin and Jakob that it should be Jonah. "We had already started the `.1' thing," quipped dad, Ross Hansen, "so why not?" With wide eyes and open arms, Jonah arrived March 10 at Florida Hospital Celebration Health, welcomed by a proud brother and sister eager to hold him. No doubt, in the nights to come, they will sing the same songs to Jonah that he heard even before his arrival. "Although we've heard the songs from the Overboard X Adventure over and over, and I am a bit tired of them," The VBS program, Jonah's Overboard Adventure, made an impact shares Liz, "I still like 'Jonah Went On a Journey.'" on the Hansen family and inspired their new baby's name.

My heart aches as I contemplate the thousands of inactive or former members who need to get reconnected with their Lord and with their church. Please send us their names and addresses. Do this right away and I'll send them a free copy of Getting in Touch, the newsletter we've created to let these dear ones know they are not forgotten by the Lord nor by His church. You can examine Getting in Touch on the Internet at www.reconnectnow.org. You can submit names there, too. Don't have e-mail? Then use the forms below. And if you send at least 15 names, I'll send you or your church a free copy of our new video, The Fine Art of Connecting. This video will help equip your church to nurture these precious children of God when they return. Please send the names so we can join you in praying for them. Thousands have returned in recent years, but thousands more remain to be found. Please help us reconnect with them.
