We’re big Adventures in Odyssey fans here so I told them we would be happy to participate in their summer A Call to Serve challenge designed to challenge your children to serve others.
Here are the details:
This summer, Adventures in Odyssey is joining with Christian bookstores across the country, inviting kids to participate in a Summer of Service. They’re promoting the biblical message, “When you serve, everybody wins,” encouraging kids to serve their families, their communities, and their world.
Whether it’s baking cookies for an elderly neighbor or putting together a care package for missionaries overseas, kids will discover that serving can be a blast!
How the A.C.T.S. (A Call to Service) challenge and contest works:
Kids who join A.C.T.S. can pick up a service log and collect fun character stickers for hours served at participating bookstores throughout the summer, or download a serving log online at whitsend.org. At the end of the summer, kids can record and upload a short video telling how they serve and why they’d like to become an Adventures in Odyssey Ambassador.
A hundred winners will get the brand-new AIO Album, and after online voting, two grand prize winners (one boy and one girl) will get to travel on an exciting Good-Goers Mission Based Adventure trip to another country with a parent!
The out-of-country destination will be announced on a live podcast May 22—hosted by AIO actors Katie Leigh (Connie) and Chris Anthony (Chris)—which you can watch at whitsend.org/acts. You don’t want to miss it!
To kick things off, they are offering a free Adventures in Odyssey episode and a free downloadable PDF with service ideas for kids.
Be sure to check back next week because I’ll have an Adventures in Odyssey giveaway for you all!

We have been AIO fans since the beginning. I remember the kids and I listening to the radio every Saturday morning for the new adventure! We have over 200 cassette tapes of the series and several CD sets. My kids are now 18 – 33 and still have their favorite shows. We always listened to AIO on trips as well! Thanks for bringing back the memories!

It’s sad how much I still love AIO. I’ll be 27 in a couple weeks and still listen almost every day. For me, not the baby. lol. Been listening since I a kid. My future sister-in-law is the same way and owns way, way more of them than I do.

I’m pretty sure you’re not the only adult who loves AIO! 🙂
Mother Lydia says
I loved Adventures in Odyssey long before I had any kids. Had to get rid of most of my albums though because they were cassette and we no longer had a cassette player 🙁
