Back-to-School Backpack Ministry, church communication resources to motivate your congregation

Posted by Yvon Prehn on December 5, 2009 · 0 

Back-to-School  is a time with great outreach potential. Backpack Ministry, where your church assembles and gives children backpacks filled with school supplies, now more than ever, is a greatly needed ministry. Children in homeless shelters, kids whose parents have lost their jobs, or whose jobs have been cut back, many of them face a sad and embarassing time—to be forced to go to school without the required supplies their parents can’t pay for and the schools don’t provide.

To keep that from happening to any little child in your community, below this article are PDFs of bulletin inserts (two styles, same content) you can download and print up for your church with the specific details for your church on the backside. First are some links for websites that will give you additional ideas not only on Backpack Ministries for this time of year, but year-round for needy children.

Article on how to create a “Back to School Closet Ministry.”

The article focuses on single parents as a target for this ministry, but during the hard times today, it would be appropriate for many families.

Many folks need help on a continuing basis. These backpacks aren’t filled with school supplies, but with food for children who may not eat on the weekend without help.

If you want to read my personal motivation for encouraging you to become involved in this ministry, click here.

May the Lord burn into our hearts the needs of children and make us motivated to meet those needs. May the Lord give you, the church communicator, the passion, power and prayers to create communications that will link needs with resources.
