2 ) Greetings in the name of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ! Enclosed is the informational packet for The FMD Pow Wow. This will be an event you won t want to miss. The Pow Wow will be held April 17-19, The location will be Florida Multicultural Retreat Center of the Assemblies of God in Okeechobee, FL. The focus and theme on this year s Pow-Wow will be Call of duty (Spiritual Warfare). We are asking every church to help us fundraise for a missions offering. Our Goal as a District is $1, This offering will be used to help a missionary. The boys will have over 20 activities were they will enjoy and have lots of fun during the day (for a couple of examples Rock Climbing, Archery, Paint Balling, Laser Tag, Jousting, and many more). However, the focus of Pow Wow is the spiritual emphasis each night during the night service and the other special devotions and services we look forward to seeing our boys being filled with the Holy Spirit. The registration fee includes cap, t-shirt and patch, incentives and your weekend of fun. Gas, traveling expenses, food, etc. that your outpost will incur is at your discretion. You will need to determine the exact cost per person for your outpost to cover these additional charges if needed. Each Child has to complete an application and be signed by their parent. Also, all Adults application MUST be Signed by the Senior Pastor. With out this, they will not be allowed to stay at the camp. So make sure you have one for everyone that is coming to Pow-Wow. What if we don t have Royal Rangers in our Church, you may ask yourself. Your group of boys are more than welcomed to participate with us. The ages are as followed: Rangers Kids are Kindergarten, 1 st and 2 nd Grades Discovery Rangers are 3 rd, 4 th, and 5 th Grades Adventure Rangers are 6 th, 7 th, and 8 th Grades Expedition Rangers are 9 th, 10 th, 11 th, and 12 th Grades Remember: Physicals are recommended but not required for Pow Wow. Join the staff and dedicate March 28 for fasting and praying for God s anointing and an outpouring of the Holy Spirit. You and your boys will truly be blessed by this experience. In His Service, The District Staff FMD Royal Rangers For more information contact Allan Vega at (813) or visit us at
