KIDS IN MISSIONS GRADUATION DINNER - Sunday, November 21 2010

We concluded our 2010 season of Kids in Missions with our almost annual (last year we could not solidify a date) Graduation Dinner. We had a great night of food, fun and fellowship! 12 of our students recieved certificates as each graduated from our Kids in Missions program. Each student and L.I.T. was so enthusiastic! Six of our students shared testimonies about their experiences this past year and we concluded with a huge Graduation cake our guests dived into.

EVANGEL TEMPLE - QUEENS, NY - September 25, 2010

From the start we knew this was going to be a great outreach! Our shuttle needed a "jump start" and thank the Lord we had no problems. That delayed our arrival to Evangel Temple. The Evangel people also had a late start so all was good. Our team was able to minister by way of 3 puppet songs, 1 drama called "Arise my Love" where the kids use dowels and a fun song. Our team also stayed for a few of the games that were played and one of our team members Geraldine placed second in the "Sword Drills." It was a great day of ministry and we look forward to partnering with Evangel Temple in the future!!

OCEAN GROVE NJ BEACH PAVILION - September 2 2010

For the second time this summer, a group of 16 eager Kids in Missions students and L.I.T's along with 4 adults ministeed at the Ocean Grove New Jersey's beach pavilion. With a possible threat of Hurricane Earl (which never hit the East Coast), our students werer able to minister by way of two dramas (Heaven came down & Arise my Love) as well as puppets, Tiki the Toucan, Shelton the Shark, object lessons and fun songs. It was a great day of ministry and our team always looks forward to going to this great city to share God's love!

BUSY WWEKEND IN JULY! Ocean Grove NJ and SGT Picnic

During the weekend of July 10th & 11th, Kids in Missions had 2 awesome opportunities to share the love of Jesus first at a beach and then at our church picnic. A group of 19 from our group cramped into 2 school mini-busses and headed over to our annual Ocean Grove NJ beach pavilion outreach. This has been a tradition of ours since 1997! We drove through many downpours of rain along the way and once we got to Ocean Grove, we did not see very many people on the beach or in the pavilion. Just before we were to begin ministry at 3:00, it began to rain real hard. Many "ran for cover" under the pavilion and we had a decent crowd! Our Kids did a great job doing their dramas, puppet songs and lead with the fun songs. We also had a lot of fun stopping by Day's Ice cream for some awesome ice cream!

On July 11th after our 12:15 pm service, Kids in Missions ministered to a large crowd of kids, parents and grandparents at our annual picnic. In spite of the hot hot weather, we were able to share God's love with many. It is so incredible to think of the freedom we have in this country to share out in the open air about Jesus without being afraid of getting arrested!

It was a great weekend and we know God has lots in store for us this summer!

MEMORIAL DAY PARADE 2010 - May 31, 2010

We began our 2010 season by once again marching in the Town of Smithtown Memorial Day Parade. It was a beautiful sunny day and we were so blessed to be able to not only march but to give out pens to children to help advertise Vacation Bible school. Our float was a Rainforest theme complete with a hut and rainforest animals. It was a great way to start 2010!!!!
