As we transition into late summer, Children’s Church is featuring six weeks of Missionary Heroes! Missionary Heroes began last Sunday, August 1, with one of our very own missionaries from All Saints’ Church- Bethany Fair.

Each week the children will be led by some very special guests, as they highlight a hero for Jesus-a Missionary Hero of the week! Our first Missionary Hero was Bethany Fair, a teacher (going into her second year this fall) who experienced a short-term mission a few years ago to Eswatini, Africa (also known as Swaziland). Her send-off and support came from her college, Southern Nazarene University, along with All Saints' Church. Her parents are still part of All Saints’, Jon and Lisa Fair. Bethany is now teaching in Oklahoma, but did a video teaching for our children last Sunday. This was a great opportunity for our children to learn about a missionary hero, who came from our own church!

This week Children’s Church will continue learning about missionaries to Africa. Connie Odems will lead the children in learning about the first African American female missionary, Louise Celia Fleming! What an honor this will be to not only for the children to hear about Ms. Fleming, but also to hear from Connie herself, a gifted Bible teacher of many years at All Saints’ Church.

Here is Bethany on her mission trip to Eswatini!
