Conference
Ukraine: Sixty-eight participants attended the recent
Children of Crisis conference in the Ukraine. The
attendees were Christian and secular; professors,
students, foster family parents, directors of state-run
orphanages, missionaries and people of all sorts who
work with children in crisis. The opportunity to visit a
hospital for infant orphans, an orphanage for children
ages 8-17, and a soup kitchen, were all well received.
Wii Fun For Standing Rock
The conference was a great success.
Church Kids
MCLAUGHLIN, S.D.: Carl and Anna Nobles are missionaries to the American Indians in South Dakota.
They live in a town with just 700 people. There is typically nothing going on there and the youth have
nowhere to go, and usually nothing to do. This past Christmas, the staff at World Missions took an
offering for the youth at this church. The staff decided to purchase
a projector and a Nintendo Wii system for the youth. Carl says, “It
was a big surprise when I set up the game system. The kids did
not know what to think. Most of them had never played with a Wii
before and some didn’t know what it was, so it was very exciting
for them to learn how to use it. Some of the grandparents joined
in on the fun and played with their grandchildren. It is a blast to
watch them play and take a break from the hardships of their lives
and daily situations.”
Celebrate the Centennial
CLEVELAND, Tenn.: The World Missions’ children’s site, Mission
Possible, has been updated with tools to help celebrate the Centennial.
Resources include ideas, activities, quizzes and recipes to help children
participate in the 100th birthday of World Missions. The materials provide
f
G
o
an excellent way to discover what has happened in the last 100 years d
C
and can also be helpful in guiding parents and teachers to come up with
W
s
o other ideas to celebrate. In 1910, R.M. and Ida Evans felt the call to take n
r o
i
l
the gospel to the Bahamas, and thus a ministry that now reaches into 171
s
d s
i
M
countries was born. Children can celebrate that milestone by helping their
parents make some Bahamian-inspired food or learn about the history of
World Missions. For more information visit: www.cogwm.org/wmkids
