Bonnie is passionate about encouraging, equipping, and empowering those around her. She believes that this generation needs to experience the love of Jesus and the power of Holy Spirit that transforms lives! Her passion for God’s presence, her love for people, and her gift of team building equip her to champion women of all ages in discovering their gifts and their God breathed purpose!

Bonnie and her husband Lee have been married for 24 years and they have 4 children ranging in age from 14-22. She loves long walks on the beach, reading, sports, riding rollercoasters, and spending time with her family.

Our Coins for Kids project for 2018 is Special Touch Ministries. The mission of Special touch is to ease and enrich the lives of people impacted by disability. They do this through Summer Get-Aways

designed for those with special needs. They also have started local chapters which meet monthly for support. They are a growing vital

ministry in the body of Christ!

Missionary David Houck Outreach in Ocala

PF Girls Ministries collects personal items to give out in partnership with David Houck and SOZO Kids.

We collect all year and the outreach is in August. Things we are collecting:

Bars of soap, deodorant, shampoo, hairbrushes or combs, toothbrushes, toothpaste, and body spray. These items can bless children

who go without these basic necessities! If you would like to pre-pack gallon size ziplock bags with these items and

bring them with you that would be amazing! We take gallon size ziplock bags and put 1 of each of the items in the bags.

Then each child gets a bag in August! Our goal is to bless 800 kids this year!

If the CHURCH purchases meal tickets, everyone from the church must purchase a meal ticket.

We will be opening up the campground on Thursday at 4:00

you some extra time to spend getting to know your girls

better and build relationships within your group.

(consider time to set up/darkness settling in.) There will be

NO activities planned until Friday afternoon! There will be

NO meals served until Friday evening! River/water is off

limits until activity time on Friday. This is just an opportunity

for you to have some extra time with your girls and relax

with your own schedule and food.

THEME: Rise Up and Shine:

Isaiah 60:1 “Arise, shine, for your light has come and the glory of the Lord rises upon

you.”

The object of the swaps is for girls to meet and develop friendships with girls/sponsors outside

their church. Plus, it is a way we can share a little bit of ourselves with others.

Do’s and Don’ts

• Swaps should be handmade. They should reflect something about the person making them.

It could have your church, club, city, etc.

• SWAPS can be theme related to Powette, club, or Bible. (Don’t limit yourself to these sug-

gestions.)

• Keep them inexpensive, but make something you would want to trade.

• SWAPS can be pins or bracelets

• The size should be about 1-2 inches.

Make a few extra; there might be someone who doesn’t have a pin to swap.

There are two types of SWAPS. Those you keep and those you trade..

The SWAPS you want to trade can be placed on your shirt, in a zip-lock bag, a box, or on a ribbon. Whatever is easiest for carrying. The SWAPS you want to keep can be put on a SWAP hat/bandanna. Girls/Sponsors

can put their entire “keeper” SWAPS on their hat/bandanna as soon as they decide

which ones to keep. One should never say “no” to a trade, even if you may already have one similar or don’t like it. Politely trade it and say thank-you, remember Ephesians 4:32. (The exceptions are those swaps on a hat/bandanna.) Any SWAP on a hat/bandanna is a keeper SWAP and will not be traded. No one

should ask to trade those.

www.girlscouts.org/program/gs_central/swaps is an excellent website for ideas.

Sponsors, please make sure your girls are aware of the SWAPS prior to Powette.
