Child Compassion Challenge

Recycle cell phones & printer cartridges

An innovative Assemblies of God missions funding program involves recycling cell phones and printer ink cartridges. Launched in 2001, Child Compassion Challenge uses recycling as a two-pronged tool to:

help churches raise funds for their own local missions projects, and
helps support an after-school enrichment program to children and youth located in at-risk communities across the nation. CCC will assist KidCare America by increasing resources for children to receive a healthy snack, homework help, recreational activities, biblical teaching, practical living skills, tutoring and a godly man or woman to walk with them through life.

Missionaries Mike and Nancy Ferguson are the national representatives for Child Compassion Challenge. They also head KidCare America, the after-school mentoring ministry.

Child Compassion Challenge (CCC) has already received more than $150,000 for used inkjet cartridges from Women's Ministries groups and other groups.

Recycling Facts: 350 million laser and inkjet cartridges are used each year. About five percent are recycled. The rest are dumped in landfills.
Child Compassion Challenge will send a rebate check each quarter ($25.00 minimum) for each qualifying inkjet and laser cartridge and used cell phone.

60 cents for each qualifying inkjet cartridge
90 cents for each qualifying laser cartridge
$1.20 for each qualifying cell phone

When your church receives a check for your local ministry, missions or outreach events, KidCare America receives matching funds. While you are helping to reach people in your community, monies are being raised for missions across the nation.

To enroll online and check the list of qualifying cartridges and other details, visit www.agccc.org, or phone 1-866-50-4-KIDS. To contact Mike or Nancy Ferguson, send an e-mail to mferguson@afterschoolmentoring.org.
