NVBC Youth & AWANA Presentations!





FEED '08 has 25 days left!!!


Tonight was a great experience for FEED to spread excitement amongst our church family at New Vision. The high school and middle school services were focused on FEED, including watching the brand new World Vision video that displays intense sights of young children and babies that are literally wasting away while I type. This is a video that shows the recently announced GLOBAL FOOD CRISIS that is taking our world by storm. FEED has become that much more important now that we are even more aware of the immense need. We had 2 awesome students from the youth group get up and present some startling statistics about our world and the need out there. After every student shared a statistic, the statement was consistently shared, "WITH YOUR HELP, WE CAN CHANGE THE WORLD. LET THE FEED MOVEMENT BEGIN." This is what FEED is about. We cannot let this opportunity slip through our fingers. We have thousands of dollars left to raise to make our goal, but more importantly than that, there are so many more people in our community that I know would love to get involved in FEED. SPREAD THE WORD! We have posters available, rave/info cards, press releases, donation request forms, Run/Walk sponsor forms, etc!!! Please ask any of the FEED team, Jeremy Lee, Brian Owen, or really anyone to see what YOU can do to join in with us!

Also, tonight we had the honor of speaking in front of hundreds of children in the AWANA's program at New Vision. Aaron had an enamored crowd of kids that he proceeded to pump up with excitement about joining the FEED movement. They were all given a can of food with the FEED logo on it and the note to bring canned goods back next week! They are going to be kick-starting our FEED food drive that will begin officially on October 11th! AWANA children's parents, we LOVE the excitement and energy your kids are bringing to FEED, and we hope you will encourage them in getting involved and being a part of each and every activity we will be doing on October 18th and 19th! We need your support as well!!!

Thank you so much to everyone for all the hard work and sacrifices you have made for FEED. God is all over this project, and I know He's going to blow us all away with the next 2 1/2 weeks we have left for FEED '08. Blessings to all!
