Coins for Kids

Coins for Kids is the missions arm of Girls Ministries. Each year the national Girls Ministries Department, in cooperation with the Assemblies of God World Missions and Home Missions, selects a missions project that specifically affects children.  Girls Ministries partners with the Boys and Girls Missionary Challenge—BGMC. The Coins for Kids offering received not only benefits the national missions project but also contributes to BGMC when mailed to the national Girls Ministries Department.   Churches who give to Coins for Kids through the national Girls Ministries Department will get both BGMC and World Missions giving credit.

2014-2015 Girls Ministries Themes

Links to videos explaining this year's project can be found at the following link:CFK project video.

This past weekend the OGM reps put on a mock sleepover for the National Girls Ministries dept.  At our next meeting I will be sharing the tips and ideas that we used in implementing this fun activity into your ministry. 

I would encourage you to pray about challenging your girls to collect a one time offering for this event.  Set a resonable goal and challenge them to meet it.  You can order the Coins for Kids offering boxs and promo cards, and distribute them to your girls. They are free. Contact Gospel Publishing House at 1-855-642-2011 and order as many as you need (Offering Box Item #73-4943, Promo Card Item #73-4933).  Pass them out a few weeks before you want to collect your offering as a reminder of what you are planning on doing.  Plan a fun night or weekend and see what God can do through your girls.

If anyone would like, I would be happy to help you plan an event.  We could even bring several churches together for a fun time of fellowship.  The possibilities are endless!  Feel free to contact me (330)-647-7032 or pcfaatz@embarqmail.com if you are wanting help with this event.
