Teen Mission Notes (May, 2008)



I hope and pray all is going well and you had a great Memorial Day weekend.
Summer has arrived and there are many great things happening with Teen Mission, USA, such as...
MISSION JOURNEYS
The 2008 Mission Journeys are moving into "high gear."
The final details for the summer trips are currently being made with some trips leaving in just over 2 weeks.
2008 will be another big year for the Mission Journeys outreach. Overall, we’re anticipating 30-35 trips with somewhere around 500-550 participants.
Several trips have already taken place. The “spring” Mission Journey locations have included Haiti, Ghana (West Africa), Alabama, Kentucky, Louisiana and Mississippi.
VBS/CAMP MISSION PROJECT
Year number eight of our VBS/Camp mission project is underway.
We will be the mission for several Vacation Bible Schools and weeks of Christian Camp this summer.
If you are involved with a Vacation Bible School or Christian Camp this summer and are still in need of a mission project, you should consider using Teen Mission, USA.
We have the following FREE resources available:
Helpers at Your Service!
Teen Mission staff members and/or interns can come and speak for your mission time, help with classes or recreation, etc. Kids love the interns. They do a great job of winning hearts and minds for Jesus and for missions in VBSs and in camps.
Trading Cards!
FULL-COLOR Mission TRADING Cards are given to each child every day just for attending! Each card has a Scripture and a brief mission story about Teen Mission, USA’s, ministry to children around the world. Also earn BONUS Cards for perfect attendance, bringing a friend, memory work, etc.
DVD/Video Available!
If you prefer a timed Video presentation, we have 7-minute DVD/Videos telling the mission story each day for a 5-day VBS. Each segment is fun and informative.
Offering Ideas!
ALSO, we include fun ideas for getting children excited about their project and their offerings each day. In addition to their offering, the children can pick a helpful project! Your kids can gather cold medicines, vitamins, toys, etc. for our teams to take to children on mission trips.
*SPECIAL PROJECT: We also need new school supplies plus any new or lightly worn children's clothes for children in areas of Eastern KY!
There is no charge for the VBS/Camp mission packets. All we ask is that you consider having our ministry as your VBS or Camp mission.
THANKS in advance for considering this request and God bless.
