MISSIONS AND POW WOW

MASTER’S TOOLBOX

Royal Rangers has partnered with

BGMC through Master’s Toolbox to

raise funds for specific missions

projects. This year we are

targeting to raise funds to enable

the boys of Tennessee to build a

Tabernacle with our Pow Wow

2020 missions offering.

Each outpost is challenged to raise funds and bring them to

Pow Wow. This year we are partnering to build Tabernacles

to be placed in countries that need a church building. The

tabernacle shown can be built for $7,500 and we are setting

a goal to raise this amount. Please help your outposts collect

their BGMC funds and bring with you to Pow Wow. We will

collect all the money raised and see if we can go over the top

in meeting the needs for building more churches around the

world!

BGMC has created a special offering box for Royal Rangers to

use to collect money for the "Masters Toolbox" program.

These FREE boxes can be ordered from My Healthy Church at

1-855-642-2011. Ask for item number 742-893.

Silent Auction: We will have items at Pow Wow to be auctioned off by silent auction.

These will be donated items and 100% of the money raised will go to missions. Outposts

are encouraged to bring items for the missions’ auction.

Camp Store: We will also have lots of interesting items for sale in our camp store to raise

money for missions. There will be t-shirts, leather goods, skins, and so much more. You’ll

definitely want to bring some extra spending money!

of 26

MISSION TRIP SCHOLARSHIP

Friends of Rangers will award a scholarship up to $2,000 to send a Royal Ranger boy on a

mission trip. To nominate a boy for this scholarship, a commander, a pastor, or the boy

himself may submit an essay of less than 200 words stating why the applicant is deserving of

the scholarship. These essays are due no later than Pow Wow check-in on Thursday morning.

The essays will be judged at Pow Wow and a winner will be determined for one deserving

young man to receive a Mission Scholarship. He will be able to use these funds toward

attending a Tennessee sponsored Mission trip.

Let’s encourage these young men to share what is on their hearts. It’s not too early to start

writing!
