New mission website for kids launched
Now young people can play an
important role in sharing the Good News of Jesus'
love with people in the 10/40 Window.
COLLEGE PLACE, Wash.--Gospel Outreach is
pleased to announce the launch of a new mission Web
site,
www.missionadventures4christ.org.
Premiering in time for the August 11–15
"Courage to Stand" international camporee for
Pathfinders, the
site:
1. Gives young people a place to learn and get
excited about missions.
2. Provides opportunities to become involved in and
committed to missions.
The site is divided into sections for 10- to
13-year-olds, 14- to 18-year-olds, parents, teachers
and pastors. As "Mission Adventures 4 Christ"
continues to develop, visitors will be able to learn
about real missionaries, read stories, explore
interactive maps, discover information about other
countries, play games, share ideas, and get involved
with mission trips and fund-raising activities.
Gospel Outreach would like to express special thanks
to Annette Melgosa (project director), Scott
Barnett, Warren Rood, Wade Brooks and Kevin Ames for
their countless hours of volunteer work moving this
site from concept to reality. Thank you to Patrick
Mandigo for his technical expertise and web work. Also, thank you to
Mark Etchell for getting the project underway.
"As you explore the new website, feel free to give us suggestions,
thoughts and point out errors or problems," Melgosa
says. "As with any newborn, the site must now grow
and develop, and we are anxious to make it better."
Writers are needed to accomplish this, Melgosa says.
Contact us if you are interested.
Please pray that this new endeavor will develop into
a powerful tool for sharing God's love.
A group of teenagers from College Place, Wash.,
has headed to the Pathfinder camporee to
spread the word about Gospel Outreach. |
Team heads to Pathfinder camporee in Oshkosh
by Sylvia Barbosa
OSHKOSH, Wisc.--"Oshkosh, here we come!" Eight
teens, a chaperone and a mascot are off to tell
Pathfinders and their church families about the
tremendous success Gospel Outreach has had in
supporting national evangelists in the
10/40 Window.
In the photo to the right, you will notice the teens
made up a new logo--a stop sign with GO on it. Why?
Because it makes you ask questions. That's the point
in attracting attention and sharing that God's
command to GO into all the world is what we help
local evangelists do. Our Oshkosh team
has worked hard to put together a DVD that tells all
about Gospel Outreach. It's only 20 minutes long,
and we added some cool stories as well as a basic
overview. Rejean, one of the Oshkosh team members,
and her sister Dacia even wrote a Gospel Outreach
song--listen
to it on MySpace. See if it inspires you the way
it inspired us. We also have a welcome
packet you can request by filling out the form
below. The packet includes brochures, the DVD,
fundraising ideas, a kids' easy-read poster and
project selection guide. One Sabbath School leader
also developed a detailed way to use the packet in a
Sabbath School class, and we can add that as well.
Please share any ideas you come up with to interest
kids and adults alike in this supportive ministry.
Please send a free DVD or
welcome packet to me:
