Soggy weather didn’t deter hundreds of missions volunteers from serving through hands-on projects March 9. IBSA’s annual Children’s Missions Day mobilized kids at 11 sites around the state, where they baked cookies, made blankets, and prepared cards and goodie baskets for people in their communities. In some places, the young missionaries visited nursing homes or assisted living facilities or hand-delivered thank-you notes to firefighters and police officers. The photos below are from several of the sites–check back here for more from Children’s Missions Day, and look for a full report in the March 25 Illinois Baptist.
