| Assembly for Children Registration Now Open! |  The International Children's Ministries department is busy preparing for SUPER KIDS, the 2014 Assembly for Children taking place during the 98th International Assembly in Orlando, Florida. Each day children will discover an important truth from God's Word that will help them live as God's SUPER KIDS. On Thursday our elementary school children will focus on the truth, "I see me as God sees me. I am valuable." On Friday they will respond to the truth, "When God calls me, I will listen and say yes!" On Saturday they will make a choice: "Easy or hard; big or small; I will obey God's call." SUPER KIDS Assembly for Children is going to be an amazing time when your child has the opportunity to experience God's Word, God's presence, God's purposes. Make it a priority for your children to attend the morning and evening sessions of ASSEMBLY FOR CHILDREN. Note: Spanish translation will be provided in preschool and elementary sessions.

Time never stands still and as I get older, it seems to go by a lot faster. In just a few months we will be attending the International Assembly once again and are looking forward to seeing many of you there. Once the Assembly is over, we will be making our way through Georgia, Tennessee, South Carolina, and North Carolina to visit each of the churches that help us minister here in Paraguay. Some have already written and booked dates for our visit and you are certainly welcome to do that. All of our information is above. If I have not heard from you shortly, I will be writing you pastors to see if we are able to visit with your local churches.
