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!!!!

JIREH CHURCH- Marlboro, NJ - December 6, 2009

What an amazing time we all had at the Jireh Church in Marlboro, NJ. The Jireh church is a church that maakes every effort to reach the chinese community. They invited Kids in Missions to share at their Children's Church program. A team of 19 traveled early Sunday morning and ministered by way of drama, Christmas puppet songs, object lessons, a game (Snowball fight), Grandpa Lou, Shelton and Sonkist and a brief message (The Parable of the Lost Sheep). Our ministry was well received and we look forward to an ongoing relationship with the Jireh Church for many years to come!

JONES BEACH - July 13, 2009

Along with the SGT Choir and Undignified from Smithtown Christian, Kids in Missions began the evening of ministry doing a new drama called "Into all the world" featuring our First Year Students. Our Second Year students, L.I.T.'s and leaders ministered next with an awesome drama "You are God". Desiree Cirillo did a fabulous job singing that worship song unto the Lord while our students did the "motions". Grandpa Lou also paid a visit with some help from Pastor Dave's kids Kaylee, Tyler and Kassie holding road signs.

After Pastor Rich Collingridge gave a brief salvation message, many gave their hearts to Jesus for the first time. It as a great night of ministry!

OCEAN GROVE NJ BEACH PAVILION - July 11, 2009

In spite of a strong wind blowing into the pavilion and our puppet stage falling down countless times, our Kids in Missions students, L.I.T.'s and leaders stood strong. We had the privilege of returning to Ocean Grove NJ and their Gospel Music Association which is fast becoming a tradition since 1997. We began with some fun song's, ministered by way of three dramas ("Shout the the Lord", "Meant to Live" and "You are God"). You are God was done while Desiree Cirillo did an outstanding job singing the vocals! Grandpa Lou and Shelton the Shark also paid a visit as well. Holding down the puppet stage, we also did "God's not Dead" and "F.A.I.T.H." To end our busy day, we stopped by Day's Ice Cream right down the block from the beach pavilion in Ocean Grove and on the way home stopped at the "Golf McDonald's" for a quick meal. It was a great day and we look forward to returning on August 14th.
