New Magabook Program Funds Elementary Tuition Michelle Hansen
by Michelle Hansen
The Des Moines Magabook team rallies before an afternoon of canvassing.
When new Winterset (IA) district pastor Jared Miller and his wife, Katie, noticed a need for tuition assistance for member
families, they teamed with
Gail Coridan, conference
Health, Prayer and Women’s Ministries director and a Winterset member, to form
a local Magabook literature evangelism program. The leadership team put the word out to the greater Des Moines area churches that a Magabook program was starting to help students raised money for their tuition at the Des Moines Adventist School. A dozen students in grades 1-8 signed up to go doorto-door for a few hours on Friday afternoons selling books, including The Great Controversy, Bible stories and a vegetarian cookbook. In their first eight weeks of canvassing Des Moines and surrounding neighborhoods, the students sold over 140
books and raised close to $2,000. The group will take a break during the winter and resume their efforts in the spring and summer months. The Des Moines Magabook team is planning a hands-on training workshop for next spring. When available, details will be posted at www.imsda. org/calendar. Michelle Hansen is communication/Sabbath school director for the IowaMissouri Conference.
