Your next vbs mission program The key to freedom

In Pakistan's brick kilns, thousands of Christian families are trapped in bonded labor, working for years (even generations) in harsh conditions to pay off debts under $1,000.

The wages are so low and the interest so high, the debt never disappears. And $809 is the average that stands between multi-generation slavery and freedom.

The Key to Freedom gives your VBS kids the chance to change their futures by paying their debt. This free 5-day mission program connects children heart-to-heart with persecuted families and empowers them to set families free.

two different lives. One faith.

Two 11-year olds: One plays soccer. One makes bricks.

Young children often work alongside their parents in the brick kilns to contribute toward their debt. When Roran, a kid from Iowa, heard about Sharoon in Pakistan, he knew he wanted to help. This mission reaches across cultures and fosters a deep kid-to-kid connection through shared faith.

A small church in rural Iowa raised 7X their highest year!
Our best year before [for VBS fundraising] was $700. We thought the $862 goal was a stretch... the final total was $5,219.02. The room erupted!
Pastor Stan Johnson Hope Evangelical Free Church, Onawa, IA

The real impact of your vbs mission Maryam's journey to freedom

Maryam lost her husband to severe asthma after two decades trapped in the brick kilns from an $862 loan. She thought she'd never escape, but thanks to our compassionate supporters, Maryam's debt was paid off, and she is now free!

Your VBS can help another family find this same freedom.

Frequently asked questions want to know more about pakistan debt relief?

What will our donations be used for?

Every single dollar makes a difference. 100% of the funds raised go directly into the "Blueprint for Freedom" program to help free and support Christian families trapped in Pakistan’s brick kilns. We celebrate every gift, big or small.

Is this really 100% free?

Yes! Our goal is to equip as many churches as possible to stand with their persecuted family. The complete done-for-you kit is our gift to you.

What VBS curriculum does this work with?

Any of them! This program includes a 10-15 minute daily module designed to plug into the main mission time of any VBS program from any publisher. We provide talking points to help you connect it to your biblical theme.

How much prep work does this require of me?

Minimal. We've done everything we can to make the materials have "Maximum Impact, Minimum Effort." All you have to do is play a daily video and read a few prepared talking points to run this mission program successfully.

What is the average debt for a family in the brick kilns?

The loan amounts vary but can be as little as a few hundred to a few thousand dollars. On average, the families we work with have a debt of $809 USD. Minor loans for critical needs such as surgery can turn into a lifetime of bonded labor due to low garnished wages, steep interest, and snowballing debt they can't earn their way out of.

Where can I find out more about the brick kiln industry?

Over $8,000 raised in just 3 nights!
We used these materials for the VBS at my home church in NY. Even though it was just a three-night event, the response was incredible—kids, staff, and volunteers all joined in and raised $8,658! I was amazed by the outpouring of generosity.
