1 for 50 Highlights                            July, 2013

1for50 ANNUAL RETREAT IN BOGOTÁ: 

About 50 global and regional leaders met together in Colombia for the 1for50 Annual Retreat. There were orientation classes for newcomers, working groups focused on new resources, communications and growing regional teams, etc. A highlight was the "Weather Report" where we looked at a global map with stickers representing current 1for50 movement and saw that it was COVERED with events. "It feels like 1for50 is walking on its own now!" The group was energized for a new stage of working together to reach the dream of "every child, every community."

 

1for50 BEGINS IN VENEZUELA:  

On the 15th of June, the very first 1for50 training was held in Venezuela. 45 leaders participated representing 15 churches from the city of Tucupita. The training was divided into two parts. The first part focused on the vision and strategy of 1for50. The second part shared Max7 and ONE HOPE materials to give the churches the tools necessary to carry out the 1for50 dream.  Do you have an upcoming 1for50 event happening in your region?  CLICK HERE to let us know.    

 

"NEXT STEP" CURRICULUM & RESOURCES BEING GATHERED:  

A new group has formed to work on gathering, finding and possibly creating new resources that support training needed to help us all with the 1for50 dream. Here is a sample of topics for the new library: reaching children of other faiths; empowering children in mission and outreach; reaching unreached families; and ministering to children with disabilities. If you have resources and curriculum to share please email Karen at 1for50@gmail.com.

And he has committed to us the message of reconciliation.
We are therefore Christ's ambassadors, as though God were making his appeal through us.
