Who Wants to Feed Hungry Jesus?
Our compassionate Jesus loves the lost, the least, and the last. In Matthew 25, He urges us to join Him in compassion ministry.
We all want to “feed the hungry Jesus” but often don’t see how. One easy and powerful way is to participate in our annual Convoy of Hope One Day to Feed The World offering.
Would you please join the scores of other AGK churches and credential holders in this statewide show of compassion? Would you help make our annual One Day to Feed The World the strongest one ever?
Most churches use videos like the one embedded below to prepare their people to bring a strong - no pressure - offering the Sunday just before Thanksgiving. This year we designated Sunday, November 19 as our One Day to help feed hungry Jesus. This “once a year offering” has no complexities. Convoy provides multiple free resources to help involve every person attending every local church in the AGK.
The state-wide One Day offerings we collect help Convoy…
pre-position their relief trucks before hurricanes strike
feed more than 100k children every school day
empower women with skills and trades to support their families
provide agricultural training to farmers in impoverished countries and thereby help lift them from poverty
and simultaneously deliver the full gospel of Jesus.
Please receive a One Day to Feed The World offering on Sunday, November 19. Make this the very best offering in our history!
Will you help feed hungry Jesus?

This year's WOVEN Women's Ministries Conference, FASHIONED: Created for Purpose, is based on Ephesians 2:10. In the New International Version, it reads, "For we are God's handiwork, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do."
When thinking about handiwork, we can often picture these three things: Intentional, Intimate, & Individual. When someone makes something by hand, they create something on purpose and for purpose (intentional). It is created closely and personally (intimate). Plus, when it comes to handmade, each creation is uniquely one of a kind (individual). God created us in the same way, intentionally, intimately, and individually.
You're invited to join women from all across the state for this annual WOVEN Women's Ministries Conference. We will experience God's presence through Spirit-led worship, biblical teaching, and authentic discussions. All of which will point us to this truth: God has FASHIONED each of us; we are all His handiwork, created on purpose and for purpose.
Joining us for the weekend is guest speaker Lisa Potter. Lisa is a passionate leader of women who lead, a grace downloader, and a generational bridge-builder living out her passions through speaking, writing, worship, and mentoring the next generation of female leaders.
Beginning August 8th, you can register by visiting www.agkansas.com/fashioned. That is also where you can view the conference schedule and reserve a hotel room. We have secured a block of rooms with special AGK rates at two hotels close to the event venue.
We had another great summer of KYM camps! Over the course of our three weeks of camp we had 800 students and 136 leaders join us at Wheat State Retreat Center. Fourty students put their faith in Jesus for the first time, 341 were miraculously healed, 127 were baptized in the Holy Spirit for the first time, 93 were called to ministry, and $20,678.16 was given to Speed the Light! One of the highlights of High School Camp was being able to bring Liz Bratcher (KSU Chi Alpha) to the campground to tell her that their vehicle was fully funded because we had a record one night offering of $11,357.50. God is clearly on the move in the next generation and we can't wait to see what he will do the rest of this year as students and leaders continue to surrender their lives to him.
Kids Camp this year was FULL! From color wars to lake games to meaningful times at the altar, kids and leaders had experiences which were purposed to show how a life with Jesus can be full of fun and truly fulfilling. Our theme was Life to the Full, John 10:10. Missionary Michelle Wellborn preached and shared stories of miracles from her 30 plus years on the mission field. Everyone was invited to engage in prayer and worship responses. As a result there were 42 first-time salvations, 102 rededications, 80 were filled with the Holy Spirit, and 43 were called to ministry! We believe the decisions and callings will be rooted in the good soil of these children and they will always point back to Kids Camp at Wheat State Retreat Center where their life was forever changed.
Illuminate Fireworks Associates would like to take a moment to thank everyone who stopped by one of our fireworks tent locations this year! The fireworks season is over, and we are beyond grateful for each and every person who helped make it a success!
Our team of Illuminate Fireworks Associates have been planning for this season for months, expanding to multiple locations and connecting additional ministries with this wonderful opportunity! Although 2023 was only Illuminate Fireworks Associates’ second season, each member of our leadership team brings years of valued experience to the table.
Illuminate Fireworks Associates offers a valuable opportunity for connecting AGK ministries and others of like values with the fundraising opportunity of running a fireworks tent, with little to no upfront cost. We believe this will allow for future investment into ministry and service opportunities throughout the following year.
This year, Illuminate Fireworks Associates operated in three locations: Haysville, KS; Hutchinson, KS; and Lincoln, NE. However, this would not have been possible without a combined total of more than 50 volunteers who share a common passion for missions.
Illuminate Fireworks Associates will distribute all proceeds from these locations to the following ministries:
Boys and Girls Missionary Challenge (BGMC)
https://giving.ag.org/donate/bgmc/BGMC_OFFRNG_CRITICAL_NEED
Church Mobilization - U.S. Missionary Chris & Sarah Geeseka
https://giving.ag.org/donate/700001-284804
Freedom Challenge - U.S. Missionary Don & Gail Starnes

AGK Girls Ministries

It is the heartfelt desire of Illuminate Fireworks Associates to continue to grow the list of ministries who are able to benefit from this amazing fundraiser opportunity so they can in turn continue their mission. We have already begun planning for the 2024 season. If your church ministry or nonprofit would be interested in running a fireworks tent in 2024, please call Sarah Geeseka at (316) 252-9081 or Don Starnes at (316) 619-0721. Illuminate Fireworks Associates will be hosting an informational meeting in September 2023 for ministry leaders who are interested in participating in the 2024 season.
Israel: Why Go?
There is something supremely distinct about the Holy Land in general and Israel in particular. An unmistakable aura seems to rise from the ancient hillsides dotted with caves or lined with olive trees. The incredible sunrise smiling upon the morning mist from the Sea of Galilee or that first glimpse of the Old City of Jerusalem . . . none of it ever pales but stays with you long after your departure. Indeed, after this kind of a trip, you’ll discover that your passion for Jesus — the One who walked, lived, died, and arose forevermore — only increases every time you read His Word. No matter how often I have visited, its spiritual scent always refreshes my spirit. Read the gospels before you go, then view them in living color while there.
