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, 2015. 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
$1,500.00. 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, 1st and 2nd Grades
Discovery Rangers are 3rd, 4th, and 5th Grades
Adventure Rangers are 6th, 7th, and 8th Grades
Expedition Rangers are 9th, 10th, 11th, and 12th 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

enough time in one day to do it all. We will be focus on facility clean up and new
camp area clearing. There is much work to do around the pageant area, bath
houses, etc. As the number of campers this year will be at an all time high, we
also need to clear more camping areas. There is a lot of area to be used if we take
the time to clear it out and make it ready. Workday will start at 8:00am from the
lodge. When you come to the workdays, please bring rakes, shovels, weed
eaters, any tool you might use to help prepare the campground for this year’s
