Organizers stated a total of $12,000 was raised during the month-long campaign to purchase cases of outreach bibles that will be shipped to various countries around the world. 

MS Senior World Delegates underwent a 10-minute scored interview with judges from around the country. Delegates competed on stage in active lifestyle wear, fashion vogue, and evening gown. Finalists were ranked based on a tally of those scores along with the interview score.

These senior ladies are very active in serving others and MS Senior World affords them a venue to share in a fabulous event where they are the center of attention. It is a wonderful way to educate and empower the delegates and the audience by showing the world what they can accomplish.
