“The not too distant future of our missionary work depends upon the vision of our children of this generation.”

What a statement! This was said back in the 1940’s as Bgmc was being created and I believe this is still true today. So it made me think….how can we bring back the basics of  giving vision for missions. In 1949 the first buddy barrel was introduced, he was a small wooden barrel that held just a few coins. So AZCM is bringing back the wooden barrels to serve as a reminder of the vision we must pass on to all those around us. I am challenging you as a leader to personally set a goal as well as pass that vision on to others and set a goal as a church/ministry.

Starting in April at District Council AZCM is going to begin a project bring Optical, dental and health care to areas that other wise would not have it. This gives HealthCare Ministries the opportunity to access some of the countries and cultures that are otherwise closed to bring the Gospel to. This will run from April 2013 – June 2013. What will God do through you and your vision for missions?

AREAS TO GIVE TOWARDS:

1. Optical

These funds would go toward the purchase and repair of items such as: adult eyeglasses, children’s eyeglasses, eye charts, lens flippers, pen lights, eyeglasses, lensometers.

2. Dental

These funds would go toward the purchase and repair of items such as: compressors, curing lights, bonding agents, hand instruments, anesthetics, gauze, dental chairs, etc.

3. Medicines

These funds would go toward the purchase of over-the-counter meds (such as vitamins, Tylenol, ibuprofen) as well as prescription meds.
