We were greatly blessed by the presence of great NMI presidents at the August 24 Inspire meeting. Thanks to those who were able to come! For those who were there, and those who were unable to come, I have a helpful NMI activity that we can still do together!
E TN NMI gifted each NMI President with a sturdy tagboard calendar in your convention packet, and also gave this same calendar to each participant at the NMI breakout session.
The calendar had significant NMI dates on it. If you don’t have one of these calendars, you can download and print one using the attachments on this newsletter.
Attachments: NMI Events Missionary Addresses
SUGGESTION: Use a colored pencil, crayon or marker to highlight all missionaries’ birthdays & anniversaries on the calendar. Buy cards for all missionaries’ special days, and buy a page of international stamps (10 stamps/page for $1.50/stamp).
Count back about 6 weeks before each birthday & anniversary, and make a note of that date…that’s when your card needs to be mailed!
Suggestion for Multi-generational fun activity:
Real Life Church has “Serve Sunday,” when all ages come together for worship/ fellowship/service….then,
Teens & young adults do service projects all over the community..
while children stay at the church for fellowship with senior adults & mission related project (making Jesus Film evange-bracelets to send with E TN team to Brazil). Seniors use copies of mission calendars to address cards to be used for missionaries’ special days throughout the coming year.
*Extra fun…kids share their favorite stickers, which they’ve brought to put in cards for MKs-Jude, Kaitlyn & Levi Haun!
What a great conversation starter for senior adult/kid talk:
Tell me about this sticker….
IT WILL BE SUCH A BLESSING FOR OUR MISSIONARIES & MK’s TO RECEIVE A SHOWER OF CARDS FROM E TN FOR THEIR SPECIAL DAYS
