Retired, but not done. He doesn\u2019t move quickly, and his hearing is not great. For thirty years, he shepherded our church. We call him \u201cBrother Bob.\u201d All of Bradenton calls him that. He\u2019s a passionate evangelist for evangelism. Give him a minute of your time, and you\u2019ll hear him share the gospel. Boldly. Without apology. A couple of years ago, he brought three children to Vacation Bible School. Two of them accepted Christ. In fact, dozens of children, even a few parents, have accepted Christ in the last few years at our VBS. Countless gospel seeds were planted. What other program or event bears this kind of fruit in a one-week timeframe? VBS is a local mission trip that just about any church can do. Here is why it\u2019s important to my church, West Bradenton."}
