The steps you take, can make a

WORLD of difference!

on Saturday at 3:30pm.

Mission in Motion experience. 

Join us!


STEP Student Tuition  Expense Program

STEP helps children and young people in 14 countries receive

an education in a Christian environment.    

 

Can you imagine kids in this country sitting in a classroom

that has no desks, chalkboard or books?   


What if their classroom was out in the forests of Thailand? 

or in an unheated room high in the Andes mountains of Chile? 

 

How do you choose between feeding your family

or buying the required school uniform?

 

A monthly contribution of $15/child or $25/young person provides not only
for the student’s educational needs, but also for assistance with
food, clothing, books, and other school supplies.

 

 

During the World Mission Conference you will have the chance to be the feet of Christ, and take some STEPs to change a life! The STEP walk fundraiser is 4 kilometers or 2.5 miles.  There’s no age limit to participate!


In Arizona, you can participate TWO ways. You can walk the 4 kilometers (2.5 miles) or you can ride them in your golf cart! For the first time, we are inviting owners of golf carts to decorate their rigs and make it a STEP Parade! Prizes given for the best use of international decorations on a golf cart!


You can download a pledge sheet right now - it's at the bottom of this page.  We'll also send you one after you register for the conference in your confirmation materials.  Ask your friends, family, neighbors and your congregation for pledges to sponsor you per  kilometer or to give a lump sum donation no matter how far you walk or ride. 


Checks should have the sponsor’s name and address on it and be payable to “International Ministries”.  We will be happy to send them a receipt after the conference.   Just imagine, 12 sponsors giving $15 each covers an entire year for a child! 

 

Do you want to participate but don’t think you can walk the entire 4 kilometers?  That’s OK! We will have a car circulating the route to pick you up.  And the walk is held rain or shine!!

When you come to the conference remember to bring three things:

    1)   Your sneakers

    2)   Your sponsor sheet & checks

    3)   Your smile-because you are going to have fun!!

The STEP walk is one of several "Mission in Motion" opportunities offered on Saturday afternoon. We hope you will seriously consider being a part of this vital fundraiser for a terrific program!!
