October Ministry Update
What an awesome time at the National Project Leader Workshop on September 10th and 11th! In addition to all the information, giveaways, and sharing of ideas; we also enjoyed a scrumptious lunch and wonderful accommodations. We give a big SHOUT-OUT to Bethel Assembly of God for hosting us this year. The excitement is growing as we approach National Collection Week. It’s already OCTOBER!!
If you missed the Friday Season Launch, here is the link for you to hear about taking the Gospel to the ends of the earth. During this virtual session they talked about the ministry happening in the pacific islands, among unreached people groups, and how to Build a Shoebox Online. You’ll hear from a number of guest speakers about how Operation Christmas Child opens the door to share the Gospel. And, you’ll get a first look at exciting new resources and public promotions that are coming up soon.
