Dear friends at the Arizona/So. Nevada District churches,
Although the temperature doesn’t show it, summer is coming to a
close for traveling and those on school break. Soon churches will be
“gearing up” for fall programs and activities, planning the calendar for
the rest of the church year, and thinking about NMI meetings and
events.
Several churches have promoted the Children’s/Youth project already
and even sent in their money. Congratulations! Remember the
project? It is the Evangelism Soccer Ball. For just $10 each, these
“witness” colorful balls will be sent world-wide to stimulate
conversations about Christ.
As you begin planning the year from August through April, be sure to
include a fun, creative way to raise money for this year’s challenge. I
look forward to hearing the many ways you will come up with to
present it to your children/youth/whole congregation!
Contact me if you have any questions. Remember that most of the
needed information was on your NMI Sky Mall Magazine handed out at
Convention. We do have extras, so if you need one, just let me know.
God bless you all! In Christ, Madeira Bowell

If your school, center, or educational group is looking for a project, Children's Ministries invites you to participate in the annual Kids Reaching Kids Mission Offering Project. In the past few years, this offering has provided children with wells for water, Proclaimers to hear the gospel in the child's own language, and the translation of Bible quizzing materials into Spanish, French, Portuguese, and Korean. The project for 2009-2010 is The Hope Project. The funds will provide help for children who live on the streets and struggle each day for the basic needs of life. Street children can be found in every world region. Children's Ministries International will work with the regional coordinators for the worldwide denominational emphasis, Connecting a New Generation, to fund holistic efforts for children around the globe. Children on the streets will know they are not forgotten. They will feel the hope that comes from Jesus Christ, and they will have access to the basic needs of live In August, you will receive The Hope Project mission offering packet.
