Want To Make Your Summers Sizzle?
By Cindy Skelton
WMU Associate
Have you heard that phrase ‘There’s nothing to do?’ from your children and youth lately? Why don’t you ask them to help plan the most awesome GA, Children in Action, Acteens or Youth on Missions meeting they can? If you are not their leaders, forward their ideas to the leaders. Ask them to describe a place where they would like to visit or something they would enjoy doing, and turn it into a missions meeting or missions action project.
During the summer missions organizations are sometimes put on hold. However, children and youth have more time in the summer. Missions learning can be twice as much fun with hands on experiences that can be implemented. Longer daylight hours and sleeping in the next day may afford them time to be out late doing missions!
Also you can encourage them to do some individual missions projects on their own. Ask them to think about people in their neighborhood and community who may not go to church. They could plan to do something to help these neighbors and it would allow them to share their faith and tell them about Jesus.

Can you turn on the faucet in your home and have a high expectation that the quality of the water that comes out will not be harmful to you, your family, or your guests? If you can, then you are more fortunate than many missionaries!
Since 1997, Woman's Missionary Union has been meeting one of the most basic human needs of missionaries through Pure Water, Pure LoveSM. The goal of this ministry is to provide missionaries and the people they serve with clean drinking water, free from disease-causing microorganisms, at no cost to them.
Anyone can be a part of Pure Water, Pure Love, through his or her donation to WMU.
Scholarships for Acteens and Youth on Mission who meet all necessary requirements are available from three South Carolina Baptist Universities: Anderson University, Charleston Southern University and North Greenville University. These scholarships are funded by the colleges in cooperation with South Carolina WMU. The purpose of the scholarship is to give Acteens and Youth on Mission the opportunity to continue in their preparation for service.

2009
Season of Prayer for State Missions
September 13 - September 20, 2009
Outside My Space was the way Jesus went about His ministry while here on earth. We find in Matthew 9:35 (New International Version) “Jesus went through all the towns and villages…teaching … preaching… and healing.” He loved people from all corners of the earth and ministered to them right where they were.
"Then he said to his disciples, ‘The harvest is plentiful but the workers are few. Ask the Lord of the harvest, therefore, to send out workers into his harvest field.” Matthew 9:37-38 (New International Version). South Carolina is our mission field and Jesus calls us, through his word, to be workers for the harvest.
Many ministries in South Carolina are working Outside My Space to bring the gospel to people in diverse ways. Church planters are expanding “my space” by planting churches here in our state as well as in other lands.
Seventy-seven percent of the approximate 4.2 million people in South Carolina are unchurched. Through the Season of Prayer for State Missions, individuals will learn ways the gospel is being taken to these people in all areas of South Carolina. They will see many ways the Janie Chapman Offering is being used to present the gospel in order that many people may come to the saving knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ.
All materials needed to observe the 2009 Season of Prayer for State Missions are listed below and can be downloaded for use with your church.

WorldCraftsSM is a WMU nonprofit ministry that imports handcrafts from around the world and markets them in the USA. Most items are made by men and women living in poverty; the income from these crafts helps them better provide for their families through their skills. WorldCrafts items are fairly traded items, which means they are produced in nonexploitative conditions by artisans who are paid a fair wage. Watch for new materials which will assist you in promoting this growing missions support ministry. For more information, visit WorldCraftsVillage.com.
