Is your church interested in a hands-on project that will help the physical and spiritual needs of children around the world?
One that would give you the opportunity to connect People Who Care with People In Need?
This past summer Baptist Global Response (BGR) launched a project called “Kits for Kids.” The project involved churches, schools, camps, groups, families and others collecting/packing kits of basic school supplies and sending them to the warehouse. Using its global network of national partners, BGR has been distributing the kits to families in dozens of countries around the globe.
There are millions of children around the world who are unable to attend school because their families cannot afford the basic supplies required. Others live in areas recently struck by disasters which render the supplies unavailable.
Providing these simple school items will not only meet the physical needs required for education, but will also give missionaries and national partners an opportunity to share the love of Christ with these children and their families as the supplies are distributed.
For more information visit the website www.bgrkitsforkids.com or email kitsforkidsinfo@gobgr.org. The website contains all you need to promote the project (free, downloadable resource items). Churches in 39 states have already participated!
Over 250,000 kits have been requested by IMB missionaries living in 43 countries.
To date, 16,000 kits have been collected. The deadline for completing the project is October 2012. Please don’t let one kit request be unmet.
