Today would have been the day that the Summit Social Media SUV would have rolled out, beginning its journey to Summit, but instead, it is parked as we honor the “stay at home” order that has been issued in the county where we live.
Though we are not physically headed to Summit, we are headed for the LIVE Summit event coming this Saturday (April 4, 2020) at 7pm CDT – details to come next week. We hope to “see” you there!
As we embark on this week of Summit, I think of one of the special aspects of Summit, the way we show God’s love to one another, and encourage one another. Our challenge to you this week is to embrace that same spirit even though we are not physically together. Though we may be practicing social distancing, and abiding by local orders to stay at home, we live in an age where we can reach hundreds, even thousands, or even just that one who needs it, by using technology. This could be the time where you can encourage someone where time seemed to prohibit it before. A simple phone call, or even a handwritten letter can do wonders to encourage another. What can you do this week to encourage someone?
The Summit Offering
Hello Summit!
I hope you and your family are doing well during these challenging times.
As Quizmaster, I’m sorry we are unable to be together in person, but we are together in Christ and know that He is in full control!
I want to THANK all those in leadership at SUMMIT for allowing Awana International again this year to share an exciting opportunity for the 2020 Summit offering.
God is opening doors in unprecedented ways. Awana is being introduced into primary schools (ages 5-12) thanks to the Secretary of Education in Zimbabwe AS PART OF THEIR WEEKLY CURRICULUM! The first phase will be to train and equip 325 schools which will reach an average of 500 children in EACH SCHOOL!!
Some of the schools have been trained already. Over the next few days we will be showing pictures and videos of what God is already doing in Zimbabwe through Awana.
Be sure to come back daily and study the information that we will be providing because there will be a quiz with THE Quizmaster extraordinaire, Jeff Schacherer, later in the week.
The remaining funding needed to complete this project is $75,000. It takes only $650 to start Awana in one school. This could CHANGE A WHOLE NATION!
A generous Awana donor in IL donated $8,500 to the ministry in hopes that Summit will come together to raise an additional $8,500 to disciple these children in African schools. Perhaps reaching a nation in the shortest amount of time!!
To support our Africa School project by donating online, please click here and follow the prompts:

I encourage you to show that Summit spirit and give to this project to help establish Awana in public schools in Zimbabwe. Let’s see how many schools we can provide funding for so they can be trained.
There is no need to wait, you can donate NOW!
Time for the Summit Social Media SUV to get “back on the road”. Watch for updates here, as well on Facebook and Instagram. This is going to be a great week!
