KIDS' MISSIONS OFFERING
“Therefore go and make disciples of all nations...” Matthew 28:19-20. The Great Commission applies to all and is not hindered by size and age. Every two months the Children’s Ministry dedicates our kids offering to a Mission Project that helps fulfill the Great Commission. This allows our children to see how they too can help share the gospel with others through their generous giving.
For October:
Kids' Chile Trip- 2008
Have we got some exciting news to share with you! God has given us the opportunity to travel to Maipu, Chile. From November 28 to December 9 we’ll be making our seventh short term kids mission trip! 12 students, 5 teens and 7 adults make up our team, and we’re all very excited. We’re meeting every week to prepare and pray together as we learn more about the Chilean people.
During our two weeks in Chile we’ll be in the city of Maipu and then in San Luis, about 40 minutes away. Every day we’ll go into the public school to present puppet, music and drama programs for the students. In the evenings, we’ll be doing the same kinds of programs in the local plazas. On the weekends, we will join the local churches to help and encourage them.
Besides these programs to share the Good News about Jesus with other kids and their parents, we’ll be doing some service projects to help the local people and the churches there: everything from light construction to clean up. As you can see, this could be a ‘life changing experience’ for us!
Please be praying that God will use us and most of all that He will do a great thing in our hearts as we serve Him!
In Christ,
Melissa Kinman, Daniel Monroe, Molly Paulsen, Kyle Zimmerman, Lindsey Roberts, Brandon Cook, Michaela Geise, Alex Ballard, Ivana Schoop, Tyler Dunlap, Hannah Long, Triston Lee Johnson, Sarah Waltz, Matthew Owen, Allison Jewett, Jacob Graham, Stephanie Cook
Aren’t these kids too young for such a big trip?
Nearly 80% of all missionaries on the field were called to missions between the ages of 8 and 14. After hearing that, we were convinced that if these kids are not too young to be called by God, then they’re not too young to begin preparing for that call. Their parents are very supportive and excited as they wait to see what God will do in their children.
Isn’t that a lot of money to spend on a kids trip?
Each member of the team needs to raise about $1600 from various sources. They are trusting God to provide what is needed. Our feeling is that the money invested in the life of this child will reap benefits in the Kingdom of God for many years. At the very least we end up with a child who totally supports missions for the next 50 years of his life. Better yet, a child who dedicates the rest of her life to serving full time on the mission field. Either way, a great investment if you ask me!
All donations to the Kids Missions Offering during October and November
will go toward helping the Kids Chile Team with their ministry supplies.
Thank you for helping these students serve and grow!
