East Tennessee campers raise $17,000 for mission projects

by | 26 Aug 2015

Imagine going to kids' camp and experiencing Guatemala, Sri Lanka, Cuba, and Haiti. The children of the East Tennessee District in the U.S. had that adventure.

Embracing Nazarene Mission International's 100th Anniversary Celebration, children adopted anniversary projects in these countries and more. Projects included several for EvangeCubes® in Guatemala, solar flashlights for Nepal and Ghana, audio Bibles for Benin, a backpack JESUS Film set for Burkina Faso, and a backpack set for Sri Lanka. In addition to JESUS Film projects, the district children also raised funds to purchase a parsonage and renovate a church in the village in Cuba where Nazarene work was first started more than 100 years ago. Haiti benefits from the addition of clean water wells.

District NMI President Teresa Hodge facilitated the Mission Jamboree day at children’s camp. Through various stations, 100 children were able to sample the culture of four countries for which they supplied tools to honor Christ and tell of His love.

"The Mission Jamboree was cool because you get to learn a lot about a different culture, but you do it at camp,” said 11-year-old Emily Miller.

The Cameroon flag is a vertical tricolor of green, red and yellow, defaced with a five-pointed star in its center. The center stripe is thought to stand for unity: red is the colour of unity, and the star is referred to as "the star of unity." The yellow stands for the sun and also the savannas in the northern part of the country, while the green is for the forests in the southern part of Cameroon.
