Children Taking a Stand

Children are Taking a Stand against child abuse and neglect across the Ozarks! This initiative started in Clever, MO from the ingenuity of a young boy who wanted to help local child victims. With support from his pastor and Clever First Christian Church family, the young boy's idea came to fruition on Mother's Day and several other local churches and groups are following suit! To learn more about this initiative, visit our June Newsletter link or the Council of Churches of the Ozarks link.

Last week, Ambassadors for Children received a gift of $650.80 from Clever First Christian Church (represented by Pastor Juli Nelson) as a result of this initiative. As part of this movement, we also received a gift of $150.00 from Evangel Temple in Springfield and a gift of $159.00 from Clever United Methodist Church. The funds raised by Children Taking a Stand will be used to support our non-federally funded programs. Thank You!
