New Change For Youth (NC4Y) - Ministry in Need

 

Hello Friends, 

I wanted to give you a heads up about three VBS programs that our ministry to the immigrant and undeserved community. New Change for Youth (NC4Y) is planning to host vacation bible school (VBS) for following locations in the Wyandotte area:

1.       Hillcrest Village Apartment/Wyandotte Apartment Complex. (6/29 - 7/3)
2.       Gateway Plaza Homes. (7/6 - 7/10)
3.       St. Margaret’s Apartment Complex. (7/13 - 7/17)

VBS has been instrumental in giving kids a place to experience Christ. From the beginning of NC4Y, God has used VBS's to help us connect with families, meet new kids, and grow the NC4Y ministry. The first VBS that the first leaders and kids attended was in the Summer of 2017. Around 50 kids attended by the end of the week. We couldn’t walk away after God had worked a miracle to help us connect to so many kids. Moving forward with prayer and conversations, the decision was made to start Pathfinders. The second VBS was summer of 2018, and throughout the week of VBS, we realized the 70 kids attending had come from 9 different countries. Moving forward with prayer and conversations, the decision was made to have an international Pathfinder Club. God then provided the leaders needed to make that next step possible. The third VBS was last summer 2019. It connected us with with even more families and some of the new connections got to go to Oshkosh!

So in the previous VBS', the West Lenexa church has hosted us. However, this year, God has convicted the team to do the VBS at the local level which is why they are being held at the locations are listed above. We are doing them quickly mainly because the Sunnydale Megabook team is here with us for the next three weeks and are the ones leading the program. And just a side note, we are working with Advent Health and ensuring that we maintain all the necessary precautions/guidelins related to Covid quarantine.

So why am I reaching out to you? Well we need your help on one item. We are planning to provide back packs with school supplies to the kids who will attend VBS.  Apart from the regular back-to-school items we plan on including four Christian books that are classic, long lasting, true, easy to read, character building story books that help teach and reinforce Biblical principals while at the same time introduce Jesus to children as their personal friend:

1. Story Time takes true children’s stories and brings out moral and character building lessons. Each story is 5-10 min long and helps equip children to make positive choices.

2. REAL HEROES This book tells the stories of the greatest Bible heroes of the Old Testament. They were men/women of true character. These true stories encourage children to stand for the right regardless of their circumstances. 

3. PRINCE OF PEACE covers Christ’s life from the Christmas story to the Easter story. It shows how He died for them and wants to be their best friend!

4. MY FRIEND JESUS is for the pre-school child and beginner reader. Bright, colorful pictures with rhythm and repetition help children learn faster. They will also enjoy the activity page at the end of each story.

Each book is $10.00. The books are being brought through the Megabook team. Thus, we are seeking donations to support the ministry to these kids. We anticipate us needing at least 100 sets (approx. $4000)

Thus, would y'all be willing to donate or spread the word?
