Diana Long (NazNetter Jon Long's wife) and I took nine kids to a district children's missions rally today. It made for a lengthy day: Including the drive we were gone from 8:30 to 5:30.
The rally was great featuring Nazarene Missionaries James and Joy Johnson of the Asia Pacific Region (specifically Samoa, Fiji, Papua New Guinea, Austrialia, Tonga, Vanuatu, and Solomon Islands).
The rally was arranged something like VBS where the kids were divided by age and then moved from area to area for time with the missionary, games, story, and a craft. All this plus joint meetings at beginning, end, and for lunch.
The whole event was arranged around the theme, "Great Mission Mystery." The kids were given the assignment of discovering the answer to the question, "Why do missionaries do what they do?"
I had a great time spending time with an age group I don't have as much contact with. We have some awesome kids here in Kenosha!!!
