​PLUG-IN MISSIONS DISCIPLESHIP

Picture
There's always time to share the missions story, and Plug-In Missions Ed makes it easy. Kentucky WMU children's programming leaders are compiling, writing, and editing interesting and fun 30-minute lessons that can be "plugged in" to just about any children's ministry setting: Sunday school, opening assembly, Awana, children's church, backyard Bible clubs and more. There's never a wrong time to share the story of how God uses His people to share the love of Christ with the world! Get started this week, and if you have questions, don't hesitate to contact Stacy Nall, KWMU preschool/children's consultant.
