Welcome to Month TWO in the Adventures in Odyssey's Summer of Service Challenge This month's theme is Imagine which includes a fun giveaway of the first three books in the Imagination Station series!
June's Theme: Imagine creative and fun ways to serve using your
unique gifts!
Unleashing
Imagination
Children are spending more and more time in front of TVs, iPads,
computers, and video games. That doesn’t leave much room for kids to dream up
their own visual images—like the ones that fill their minds when they hear a
great story! Rather than passively receiving images, kids actively engage in
making images themselves when they hear a good story. Their imaginations are
enriched and stimulated, and the material becomes more personal and memorable.
Adventures in Odyssey is all about great stories—and the
power of the imagination. The beloved audio dramas are heard on over 700 radio
stations, and AIO has recently expanded to books and devotionals—including The
Imagination Station series, a fast-growing line of early chapter readers. You
can check them out by downloading a FREE e-book
of Imagination Station #1: Voyage with
the Vikings!
This summer, Adventures in Odyssey encourages kids to write
their OWN stories, as they join in ACTS: A Call to Serve! AIO is helping children
use their imaginations to serve their family, community, and world this summer—maybe
by sending a care package to a missionary or baking cookies for the local fire
department. Check out www.whitsend.org/acts
for details and a chance to win fabulous prizes,
including a mission trip with a parent to Costa Rica!
More important than prizes are the stories your child will
tell about the creative ways they served others, and how they grew as a result.
And what they come up with really might change the world!
A Creative Story
of Service
Fourteen-year-old Matthew, a dedicated Adventures in Odyssey
fan and natural tech whiz, was inspired by a trip to the Apple store to create
a smartphone app for his church. Since then, he has created 21 apps for different
ministries, including his local pregnancy resource center, Joni and Friends (an
international ministry for people with disabilities), and even an “Adventures
in Odyssey Fan News” app! Matthew used his God-given talents and imagination to
bless others through technology. Which of your
kid’s unique gifts are waiting to be unleashed for God’s use?
