 Outstanding GA 2008
It is with much pleasure Woman’s Missionary Union of
Virginia announces Kathryn Eckler as the Outstanding
GA 2008. Each year a 4-6 grade girl who exhibits a missions
lifestyle is selected from the nominations received
from churches across Virginia.
Kathryn, a 5th grader, enjoys knitting, singing in youth
choir, puzzles, reading, and outside activities. She is active
in Girls in Action at Aaron’s Creek Baptist Church in the
Dan River Association. Not only does Kathryn participate
in the many activities and ministry
projects of her Girls in Action
group, she is also busy planning
ministry projects where she can
personally serve, such as making
bookmarks to pass out at the nursing
home while trick-or-treating,
hosting a WorldCraft Party, or
knitting hats for preemie babies.
Kathryn is currently growing her
hair for Lock’s–of-Love for a third time!
Donna Hallberg, Kathryn’s GA leader, shares that “all of
Kathryn’s projects have focused on helping others and
sharing Jesus’ love with others.” Pastor Bill McEntire at
Aaron’s Creek Baptist Church, says he “would not be surprised
if Kathryn becomes another Annie Armstrong or
Lottie Moon.”
Congratulations, Kathryn, as you continue to learn about
missions and do missions!
Kathryn will receive the Lisk Scholarhsip, enabling her to
attend a week of summer camp at CrossRoads Camp and
Conference Center. She will also participate in leadership
roles at various WMUV events throughout upcoming year!
The Lisk Scholarship is awarded in memory of Kati and
Kristen Lisk, two of Virginia’s outstanding GAs who loved
GA camp.
