Concordia Publishing House shared this news:
Editorial Concordia, the Spanish division of Concordia Publishing House, announces its 2009 Spanish/bilingual Vacation Bible School, Un viaje en miniatura: Descubriendo la grandeza de Dios (A Tiny Adventure: Discovering the Greatness of God).
Through the 5-day program, children learn that though mankind is too small to save itself, Jesus is big enough to meet all needs. The 2009 Spanish Vacation Bible School program uses an outdoor theme to lead children to examine the big and small things found in God’s world.
“The program from Editorial Concordia is the only comprehensive Spanish/bilingual Vacation Bible School available,” comments Florencia Fau-Pieske, marketing manager of CPH multilingual resources. “Un viaje en miniatura is not a translation; it is written by Hispanics for Hispanics.”
Editor Rev. Héctor Hoppe shares, “Every day, children who attend A Tiny Adventure VBS are embraced by the love of Jesus, our Savior.”
Several of the collaborators who developed the curriculum are third and fourth generations of the first LCMS missionaries who went to Argentina in the early 1900s. This Spanish/Bilingual VBS offers student materials, craft projects, posters, Spanish songs, adult Bible studies, invitations, multimedia CD-ROM, and a closing ceremony.
Fau-Pieske says, “This VBS is a great outreach program. We hear stories of parents who take their children to a VBS developed by Editorial Concordia. The kids like the program so much, they take their parents to church.”

I was hoping to find this resource for use at a missions VBS. I could not find it on the current Concordia site. Any thoughts?
Hi April,
You can find this VBS here: http://sites.cph.org/editorial/VBS/2009/. Let us know if you have any other questions.
