Day 22: Missions Fair Update

Well, the Missions Fair at my church was a great success! The missions admin team had the church divided up into different missions areas, such as Orphan Care (where my booth was located), Prayer Ministry, preview of 2014 mission trips, church planting, and others.

I had quite a few people stop by my booth. Most of them were already sponsors, either through Compassion or World Vision. Some had questions. There were a few new sponsors who wanted to know when to send Christmas packages, how to send a financial gift, and other things. And, I did have one person take a child packet.

Seeds were indeed planted. This was really just the first step in bringing awareness. More great things are in store! Now, to start planning for 2014 Compassion Sunday!

In His peace,

Day 20: Missions Fair

Today is an exciting day for me! As an advocate, I haven't really done a lot with this ministry for reasons I mentioned in a previous post. But, it's starting to take off now, and I'm totally excited about the opportunities that are coming my way.

One such opportunity is to participate in my church's Missions Fair 2013. I'll have a Compassion booth set up, which will be my first time to do something like this with the ministry. I'm hoping that I get a good response, and maybe plant some seeds. I also hope that I can find ways to get people engaged who are already sponsors. This is a good first step.

Prayers appreciated!

In His peace,

Sharon
