(Me instructing the Kindergarten boys how to throw their confetti!
Up, not out!)
Up, not out!)
Every year our church hosts a week long Mission's Conference. It is a time to get to know more about Mission's and make decisions about our personal Faith Promise Giving (for missions). There are different activities that take place throughout the week and it is capped off by a huge Mission's Parade that our school sponsors.
Throughout the year each class raises money for a missionary family that will be attending our conference. This year the Kindergarten, along with a few other High school grades were raising money for the Gross Family to Muldova. They were a very sweet family with two small children and at about %50 of their support.
Gross Family
Our 25 Kindergarten kids were able to raise over $1,800 dollars for this family. Each missionary family received a total of around $5,000. It is so neat to see five year olds bring in money and know that they are helping missionaries go and tell others about Jesus and buy Bibles for people who don't have any.
Here are the kindergarten girls...the boys are hidden behind them.
You can see Givonna she is the 2nd from the left.
My class sang "Missionary Echo" and quoted Matthew 24:14 - And this gospel of the Kingdom shall be preached in all the world for a witness unto all nations.
Here is a couple of photos of the beginning of the parade when the missionaries get wheeled around the gym and pummeled with confetti. Needless to say this whole event is very "Hush,Hush" throughout the week.
Gross Family in the midst of confetti. Now you know why they are supposed to throw up not out!
Trevor enjoyed the aftermath of the confetti.
Some of my girls waiting for the parade to begin.

Charity, since you mentioned that each missionary family receive around $5,000...how many did you have that received that amount? That has to be a blessing and encouragement to them.
It great that the kids can be involved with such a great program.
We had 4 missionary families this year!
