partnership

Kids' Club couldn't happen without our partners.  We have 4 main types of partners that make such a huge difference in the lives of these kids: 

Mentors: Mentors give of their time every Tuesday night to come serve the kids of Kids' Club.  They lead the kids, play with them and love on them.  Their words and character show the love of Christ to the little ones they have befriended.  Many mentors are involved outside of Tuesday nights, you can often find them in the neighborhood play soccer, drinking chai or helping with homework.  We are so thankful for our mentors, Kids' Club wouldn't be the same without them!  If you are interested in serving as a mentor please check out http://www.missionadelante.org/volunteer.

Prayer Partners:  We have prayer partners scattered literally all over the world.  These people are in ongoing prayer for the ministry going on and the lives of our little friends.  We are so thankful for our prayer partners and the support that they provide us.  Can you remember us in your prayers?

Church Partners:  We have several church partners in the Kansas City area.  They have invested in Mission Adelante in a significant way.  Some churches have sent staff members, some support the ministry financially, many send volunteers to help on a regular basis.  They are on board with the mission and vision of Mission Adelante and encourage their body to join in it.  Recently Christ Community Church and Heartland Community Church hosted coat drives and our students benefited from them.  Check out some pictures below of our kids decked out in their new coats!  We send a big thank you to Christ Community and Heartland!

Financial Partners: Staff members at Mission Adelante are funded through individuals and churches who support them in the same manner that they support overseas missionaries.  Mission Adelante as a whole also has individuals and churches who support the General Fund which pays for the different program related expenses for both the Bhutanese and Latino ministres and operations exepenses including operations staff.  The general fund also pays the salary of the Executive director of Mission Adelante.  When you set out to raise funds, especially to support you full time it can be a daunting task.  I am so thankful for the people the Lord has sent to support this ministry so far, and the people he is going to send over the next weeks and months.  The end of the year is a big time for us in terms of raising support for the ministry.  Will you join me in praying for the Lord's abundant provision in this?
