Operation Little Fingers
A VBS Missions
Project Project
That Supports:
Deditos
Deditos is a Bible story series portrayed on video. Deditos means little fingers in Spanish, referring to the unique actors (fingers) used in the stories. Through these videos, children around the world are transported to biblical times, seeing God at work in the midst of dramatic stories.
Operation Little Fingers
Operation little fingers challenges little ones to identify with the needs of other young people, and through their own initiative raise money to help share the timeless stories of the Bible.
By dressing their own fingers as Bible characters, experiencing the videos for themselves and learning about the lives of kids around the world, children from your church, neighborhood or club can make a big difference in this project!

Testimonies
We had an AWESOME week!!!!! I am amazed when I think about it still!! We had 45 kids in our VBS. Our Church and the giving kids (families) of our small town raised around $2,100.00. WOW is all I have to say!
- Rothsay Baptist Church (Rothsay MN)
The craft was a great success. We even saw one child several days later with their finger puppet on, walking around the grocery store. The children of Faith Bible Church raised a total of $883 for Deditos production costs.
- Faith Bible Church (DeSoto TX)
