The Summit Social Media SUV had a planned stop at a hotel in Mount Juliet, TN which recently had a devastating tornado go through the town. The Summit Social Media SUV had also planned to travel through Arkansas. Arkansas also experienced a tornado yesterday, though not on the path of our journey. The hotel we were planning to stay at in Mount Juliet was not far from the path of the tornado. We would ask that you keep the people in those towns in prayer as they deal with the physical destruction as we navigate the COVID-19 pandemic.
We also want to keep Zimbabwe in prayer. Leadership in Zimbabwe took notice of markedly improved school attendance and behavior issues in the few schools that have incorporated Awana in their weekly curriculum. They recently opened the door to public schools in Zimbabwe to be trained to integrate Awana into their schools. Zimbabwe has around 3.5 million primary age children, the harvest is great. Can you imagine being at the ground floor of an opportunity that not only exposes children to the gospel, but could change a whole nation!?!? If Awana can bring Jesus to such a large population of Zimbabwe through the schools, these children will grow up to be the parents and future leaders of this nation.
Some of the schools have been trained already. Here are some pictures of that training as well as a picture of one of the school rooms.
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!!

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.
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!
The Summit Social Media SUV has a special stop to make today. Watch for updates here, as well on Facebook and Instagram. This is going to be a great week!
