Glow…‘Light in Africa’

By Cheryl VanBebber

July 2009

Have you ever looked out your car window and there sat a gigantic lion? I didn’t know whether to take a picture and enjoy the thought that I was this close to a lion or to tell the driver to stomp on the gas pedal. As I was trying to decide what to do, I looked over at my friend, Dianna Bartel, and she is hanging out the back of the car with her camera in hand. 

What else would you do if you had a chance to go to Africa? Every day we have missionaries serving all around the world. These missionaries experience things that we can’t even begin to imagine.

If you would like to hear some of the things missionaries are doing in Africa we would like to invite you to Glow, an overnight retreat for mothers and their daughters in grades 1- 6. Glow stands for “God’s Light Over the World.” This year we will be focusing on “Light in Africa” as we worship with Susan Cunningham, Topeka, Kan., listen to a missionary serving in Africa, play games, do a ministry project, and so much more.

Make plans to come Oct. 2-3 to Webster Conference Center, Salina, Kan. For additional information, contact Heidi at .(JavaScript must be enabled to view this email address) or (800) 984-9092. Packets and registration information will be in your church soon.
