Each summer thousands of elementary, middle and high school students flock to Lifeway summer camps. In addition to games and ice cream machines, those kids love missions.
This week, Lifeway President Ben Mandrell presented $678,283.32 to the International Mission Board and the North American Mission Board. That’s right students across America gave more than $678-thousand to missions.
Lifeway camps have been around for 40 years…and the total missions offerings have exceeded $17 million.
Lifeway camps give students the opportunity to hear stories of faithful missionaries and God’s work around the globe and you can tell these stories are well received by the campers.

Speaking of missions… MedAdvance has drawn health care professionals across the country since 2007. Doctors, nurses, therapists, nutritionists, pharmacists, fitness instructors, community health workers, other specialists and non-medical attendees gather at the annual event to hear how the IMB is using global health care strategies to reach the lost all over the world.
At a conference earlier this September, a doctor who worked with NASA attended to see how she can have an impact on the mission field. A retired hospital administrator attended previous events and came to Houston to reconnect with IMB friends, offering encouragement and prayer.

Kentucky pastor Todd Gray wonders what drives you to pray. In a piece in Baptist Press he writes that family members who don’t know Jesus motivate him to pray.
“There are few things more concerning than the awareness that a member of one’s immediate family has rejected the gospel and is living their life in danger of hell. The reality of their spiritually dangerous position must prompt us to passionate prayer as we ask God to bring conviction into their heart and faithful witnesses across their path.”
