New for Famine 2009 are:
Introducing World Vision Bible Studies
Our four new Bible Studies are perfect for considering some really tough issues in the lead up to the 40 Hour Famine. The four sessions are taken from the book of Amos and are designed to engage our modern situation using the Bible as our guide, along with illustrations from today's popular and classic movies, real life stories and interactive challenges.
Church Awards
In recognition of the significant effort that Church Organisers invest in the Famine we've introduced Church Awards for 2009.
To say thank you, all churches that raise over $1,500 for the Famine will receive their choice of either Volume 1 or Volume 2 of World Vision's 'Worldchangers' Curriculum resource for children's ministries.
Worldchangers is a resource aimed at helping inspire New Zealand children to follow Jesus in bringing 'good news to the poor'. The first set is based on Jesus' inaugural sermon in Luke 4, v18-19. The curriculum includes a variety of materials, including games, quizzes, music, DVDs, Bible Stories and small group ideas. It is designed to be completed over a four to eight week period and normally costs $49.
In addition, we're giving away a $100 worth of Strata Sports equipment to our two highest fundraising churches.
