East Tennessee campers raise $17,000 for mission projects

East Tennessee campers raise $17,000 for mission projects

by | 26 Aug 2015

Imagine going to kids' camp and experiencing Guatemala, Sri Lanka, Cuba, and Haiti. The children of the East Tennessee District in the U.S. had that adventure.

Embracing Nazarene Mission International's 100th Anniversary Celebration, children adopted anniversary projects in these countries and more. Projects included several for EvangeCubes® in Guatemala, solar flashlights for Nepal and Ghana, audio Bibles for Benin, a backpack JESUS Film set for Burkina Faso, and a backpack set for Sri Lanka. In addition to JESUS Film projects, the district children also raised funds to purchase a parsonage and renovate a church in the village in Cuba where Nazarene work was first started more than 100 years ago. Haiti benefits from the addition of clean water wells.

District NMI President Teresa Hodge facilitated the Mission Jamboree day at children’s camp. Through various stations, 100 children were able to sample the culture of four countries for which they supplied tools to honor Christ and tell of His love.

"The Mission Jamboree was cool because you get to learn a lot about a different culture, but you do it at camp,” said 11-year-old Emily Miller.

La bandera nacional de Bolivia es un tricolor horizontal rojo, amarillo y verde con el escudo de armas boliviano en el centro. El rojo representa la sangre derramada por héroes para el nacimiento y la preservación de la República; el amarillo representa riqueza y recursos y el verde representa las riquezas de las áreas naturales como un pozo de esperanza.
