CHICAGO—In an effort to help the children’s ministries of another Chicago-based ministry, Regular Baptist Press has donated more than 70 Vacation Bible School Rescue Zone Super Kits to the Pacific Garden Mission.
David McCarrell, president of Pacific Garden Mission, received the kits delivered by Michael Nolan, director of operations for Regular Baptist Press, and Tony Randolph, director of business.
Worth $450 each, the 70 kits contain student books for five age groups, crafts, music, songbooks, gifts, awards, posters, gospel tracts, a resource CD, and evangelism tools for running a Vacation Bible School program. The kits will be used in Bible classes held for children of homeless people living at the mission.
The Pacific Garden Mission, which moved to a new location on S. Canal Street in 2007, is the oldest continuously operating rescue mission in the country. It has been meeting the physical, spiritual, educational, and employment needs of homeless men, women, and children in Chicago for more than 125 years.
