Children in Action - Extras
Christmas in August 2012
During the month of August, children’s missions groups collect gifts for a select group of North American missionaries. The items are used to help these missionaries replenish ministry supplies, purchase items for ministry centers, and minister to people in their communities who need to hear about Jesus.
Help the children in your church get involved in Christmas in August® 2012:

Meet Me in the City
Meet Me in the City is the 2012–2013 theme for Girls in Action, Royal Ambassadors, and Children in Action. Children will “travel” downtown, uptown, and around town to learn about urban missions.
Christmas in August
Every year in August, children’s missions groups collect gifts for a select group of North American missionaries. These items help missionaries replenish ministry supplies, purchase items for ministry centers, and minister to people who need to hear about Jesus.
Does Christmas in August really make a difference? Yes, it does! Read testimonies from past Christmas in August recipients.

Children's Ministry Day
Each February, thousands of children across North America participate in ministry projects on the same day: Children’s Ministry Day.
Special Assignments
Special Assignments is an individual achievement plan for boys and girls. It helps children deepen their understanding of missions.
Special Assignments can be used as a part of Children in Action. Or it can supplement any children's group or homeschool class.
Either once a month or quarter, Children in Action groups are encouraged to work on a Special Assignment.
Events for Children in Action
Many churches, associations, and states plan special Children in Action events throughout the year. Here are just a few ideas:
Pen Pals
Most children enjoy writing other Girls in Action, Royal Ambassador, and Children in Action groups. WMU does not maintain a pen pal list. But leaders can exchange information on the Children's Missions Facebook page.
Mission Studies and Offerings
Many Girls in Action, Royal Ambassadors, and Children in Action groups participate in special missions emphases each year.
North American Missions Emphasis
Every spring, children can participate in the North American Mission Study, which is part of the North American Missions Emphasis. This study is provided by the North American Mission Board.
Ministry Projects
GAs, RAs, and Children in Action love to do hands-on ministry through ministry projects!
Each month, GA Leader, RA Leader, and Children in Action Leader suggest a ministry project for groups to do. Many groups also plan their own projects, based on the needs of their communities.
Camp
Would your kids like to hike, sing fun songs, and learn about missions? Do your Girls in Action and Children in Action enjoy swimming, playing games, and studying the Bible? How about making new friends they’ll never forget?
If so, send them to GA camp, Children in Action camp, or another missions camp this summer. You may even get to go along!
