Kids Korner
The GLASS (Greater Los Angeles Sunday School) Convention from October 31 - November 2 in Pasadena was great! Nearly 200 exhibitors came from all over the country, trying to attract the 6500 to 7000 people. The Mary Rice Hopkins Concert on Halloween night attracted 100's of children along with their parents. We had 3 very busy days of selling many children's Missions books, counseling many people, passing out free brochures, answering questions, managing a "drawing," and playing continuous videos. We hoped and prayed about spreading a Missions vision, as well as a vision of the unreached peoples.
