2016 MINISTRY PROJECT
Arkansas Church Planters
The girls at Missions GetAway and boys at Camp-O-Rama will be partnering with church plants in Arkansas
for this year’s ministry project. Church planters are partnering with schools in their neighborhoods. We are
helping the church plants by collecting school supplies. Through this partnership, church plants are able to
build relationships with teachers, students, and the families in their communities. While at Missions
GetAway, the girls will stuff the items that they bring into a 2-gallon plastic bag. (Let’s see if we can get more
school supplies than the boys!)
Please collect and bring any or all of the following items:
5 pocket folders
10-pack of blue pens
10-pack of pencils
2-pack of glue sticks
2-pack of erasers
Ruler
Pencil Sharpener
Composition notebook
2-pack of children’s scissors
3 ring binder (white)
Rainbow pack of construction paper (96 count)
1 package of Crayola Crayons (24 count)
1 package of wide-ruled notebook paper (150 pages)
3-hole fabric zipper bag for school supplies (to be placed in a binder)
The church’s calling and great commission is to make disciples of all nations, baptizing them and teaching
them. One of the best ways to do this is to raise up church planters who will enhance the church's impact on
the Kingdom by planting new churches.
In Arkansas, we have church plants who worship in ten different languages (Spanish, Korean, Chinese,
Vietnamese, Karen, Hmong, Marshallese, Laotian, Sign Language, and English). Churches need to engage and
reflect the context and the unique people groups among whom they are planted.
Every church planter and church needs a strong partner church(es) for prayer support, resourcing, encouragement and partnership. The ABSC Church Planting Team believes that every church should be a part of
church planting, as each church should continually be looking for ways to multiply and reproduce itself and
its Kingdom impact.
Ways to partner in church planting:
Prayer support for a church planter, family and church.
Adopt a church planter’s family.
Give financially.
Meet specific material needs.
Send people for leadership support.
Do mission trips to work with the church plant and its community.
