Children’s Ministry DayTM at Pleasant Grove Baptist Church in Fayetteville, North Carolina, was a churchwide event! The adults donated coats, blankets, and clothing. Our youth separated the clothing by size. Our GAs had a sleepover, and prepared food bags and boxes for transport. Our Baptist Men served hot food and gave out all of these items to homeless people in our community. We had a wonderful Children’s Ministry Day, with all ages helping!

We are the Royal Ambassadors of North East Park Baptist Church in St. Petersburg, Florida. We read about a church in Sudan that had been bombed. We gave money weekly and collected aluminum cans to raise money for this church. We are also collecting peanut butter to send to some poor regions of Russia.

The GAs and RAs of Goodman Baptist Church in Enterprise, Alabama, had a “Fear Factor Party.” We had gross foods and played games that had to do with facing our fears. Then we had a short devotion on trusting God when we are afraid. We made salvation bracelets and plan to give them to people as a way to share our faith.

They hosted a racecar event and barbeque. Racers competed in a Lad, Crusader, Challengers, and even an adult division. Medals were awarded to the winners of each division. The event also reached out to unchurched families. Great job, boys and girls of Dykes Creek Baptist!
The Children in Action of First Baptist Church in Henderson, Texas, went to a local Boys and Girls Club. They read aloud to three classrooms the My John 3:16 Book, Lola Mazola’s Happyland Adventure. They gave a copy of this book to each of the 35 children. These children not only got to hear the good news message, but also were able to take this book home to share with their siblings and families!
	The GAs and RAs of West Hampton Baptist Church in Hampton, Virginia, collected $540.68 for World Hunger. Several GAs operated lemonade stands in their neighborhoods to help earn this money.
The Children in Action of First Baptist Church in Big Pine Key, Florida, make Easter Encouragement Crosses to earn money every year for the Annie Armstrong Easter Offering. They put a Scripture label and ribbon hanger on each cross. Church members donate a dollar for a cross. Church members then write a note of encouragement to other church members and hang their crosses on the Easter tree. By Easter, what began as a “bare tree” is in full bloom with bright Easter colors! This year the Children in Action earned $200 for the offering.

 

	We are the GAs of West Hampton Baptist Church in Hampton, Virginia. We partnered with RAs to collect $540.68 for World Hunger. One of the ways we raised money was through setting up lemonade stands in our neighborhoods.
We are the Girls in Action of El Bethel Baptist Church in Chancellor, Alabama. Together with the Royal Ambassadors, we built and painted birdhouses. We sold them to earn money to help build a house for a family in Guatemala. We raised enough money to build one house, which costs $1,500.
	We are the GAs of Westwood Baptist Church in Murfreesboro, Tennessee. We made dresses for the children in two orphanages in Haiti.

	We are the GAs of North Springfield Baptist Church in Springfield, Tennessee. We held a silent auction and raised $500 for a local children’s hospital. We also collected pull tabs from canned drinks and donated them so that the hospital could receive money for recycling.

The GAs of Northwest Baptist Church in Gainesville, Florida, introduced our mothers to WorldCraftsSM. Many of our mothers had never heard how WorldCrafts helps people in other countries earn an income. We told our moms about how WorldCrafts started and what it does. We let them see samples of WorldCrafts products. We provided snacks from other countries and served punch and different flavors of tea. We also had a fashion show with clothes from different countries. We plan to give WorldCrafts catalogs to all our moms!
	We are the GAs of First Baptist Church in Maypearl, Texas. We went to Build-A-Bear and made bears to donate to the Gingerbread House. Gingerbread House is a ministry to abused and neglected children. We raised our own money for this missions project.
The GAs from First Baptist Church in Flora, Mississippi, sent an email to Jalil Dawood, the missionary we learned about in January. We asked him how we could help him spread the Word of Jesus. He suggested gift cards that he can give to people as he visits them. This will help meet their physical needs as he works to help meet their spiritual needs. We “waitressed for missions” at a Wednesday night supper. We used all of the tips we received to buy $5 gift cards. So far we have earned $450. This will buy a lot of gift cards!
