The coins for kids total giving for the 2012 endeavor-Alaska: The Place of God-has broken the project giving record for the third year in a row. Girls across the United States gave $215,276 to help construct a permanent multi-purpose building at Camp Agaiutim Nune (Camp AN) in western Alaska.That broke the previous year's record giving of $201, 263.
In faith, Assemblies of God missionaries Jim and Linda Schulz began making preparations throughout the year to erect the new multi-purpose building. Do to the limited weeks of good building weather, camps will be held in the drafty tents for one last summer. Teams are in place to deliver materials and begin building on July 1. A dedication of the new struction is scheduled for summer 2014.
"Girls have given to help the Yupik people of Alaska have a place to come and hear salvation message and grow in their relationship with God of the universe," says Candy Tolbert, national Girl's Ministries Director.
As churches heard about the Alaska project many without Girls Clubs gave as well. These churches and Royal Rangers Outposts gave an additional $12,749.
"Camp AN will receive enough funds to construct a building where Yupik children, youth and families can come each summer," Tolbert says.
