Walk the Micah Road Experience Available for Your Club!

Walk the Micah Road! A great event filled with great ideas, of how to be justice walkers, how to show mercy and how to be humble servants before God. We wanted to present this for our clubs and congregations in Area 23, but the timing just isn't right. There are too many fall start up activities pulling us all in other directions, so we are going to give you an opportunity to Experience Walk the Micah Road in a different way. The event to be held at Ada Park, on October 3 was canceled.

However, every club in our area can still participate in the Walk the Micah Road Experience. We will bring the experience to you, or send it to you or you can pick it up from the GEMS Service Center. We have three sets of each station and all the set up instructions, and you can decide when and how you want to do it. Schedule a pick up or drop off site, and you can Walk the Micah Road with your club and your church.

This was an exciting event, meant to draw in families and communities and help them connect with GEMS Girls' Clubs, so now you have the opportunity to experience this within your church and your community. It is GREAT material, lives will be changed. If you invite families, parents will have new opportunities to talk to their children about being justice walkers, showing mercy and how to do it being humble servants. If several churches in one area want to do it together, what a great thing that would be. This would be a wonderful tool if your church does a Mission Emphasis Week as well.

We have the materials, let us know how and when you want to experience Walk the Micah Road in your clubs. Your club and church will be blessed.

T-shirts are still available from the Service Center.

Any questions, please don't hesitate to call the Area 23 Leadership Team.
What Will We Learn From the Micah Road Experience?

Your destination may not always be clear, but the Walk the Micah Road Experience can help you discover how God wants you to get there!

And what does the LORD require of YOU?
To act justly and to love mercy and
to walk humbly with your God.
Micah 6:8

God calls each of His followers to act justly, love mercy, and walk humbly with Him, and this event will show you just what that means. The Walk the Micah Road Experience is an intergenerational event for the whole family.

Moms, dads, brothers, sisters, grandparents, aunt, uncles, friends: everyone will enjoy interacting at the three learning stations along the route that not only explain God's walking requirements for our lives, but offer practical ways to start and continue your journey down the Micah Road. All ages will get to experience what it means to be a justice walker for God!
Please, come learn and grow with us as we discover what it means to act justly, love mercy, and walk humbly with God, while raising money to further His work around the world!


Here is an explanation of each station.


Station 1 - Justice - Focus on orphans and their lack of being able to receive an education.

Has 6 large doll cutouts - representing different children from different countries. There are 2.2 billion children in the world - one in every six will never get to attend school - they have no access to schools. There is a world map showing where all the children living in poverty are. There are photo/story cards to be given out, each card contains a story about an orphan child in Zambia.
Station 2 - Mercy - Focus on World Hunger

There are 3 - different meals - empty plate, (tin) tin w/ beans and rice and a china set with a beautiful full meal, including dessert and beverage.
There is a food quiz for each participant to do.

Station 3 - Walk Humbly - Focus on all that we have and how we waste so many things.

There are three bins of stuff for the girls to count. To help them realize how many things we own and how many do we need. Then there are several ways for them reuse and recycle materials. They can also make a BE-attitude magnet.
