Impact Toronto 2000 - Young Adventists Bring Innovative Outreach to Toronto

July 6, 2000

Toronto, Canada .... [Lynn McDowell/Michelle G. Roberts]

Teams of young adults from around the world are bringing an innovative outreach program to the people of Toronto during the Adventist World Session. “Impact Toronto” is a ten-day training program designed to teach young Seventh-day Adventists on-the-spot outreach skills.

In Nathan Philips Square, a team of young volunteers will present two three-hour programs. Christian mime, drama, music and puppets will be utilized.

FLAG Camp–“Fun Learning About God”--will be held in the afternoons at Regent Park. Wheeler says that it is “one of the free programs aimed at sharing fun and enriching activities with inner city kids.” Co-ordinator Buz Menhardt comments, “We want the kids all to experience things they’ve never done before, as well as experience God’s love.”

In addition, 21-year-old Walter Rogers will lead a “VBS Live!” team in an approach that is “a fast-paced, kid-friendly mixture of games, multi-media lessons, songs, skits, costumes and candy.”
