S.T.R.I.V.E. Reaching The World One Student At A Time
May 10 and May 24 |
|
As the summer approaches we are extremely excited about what lies ahead of us. The Student Ministry at First Baptist Church is looking forward to our outreach projects, mission efforts, fellowships, and Summer Camp. With our young members being out of school for a few months, we are provided with an amazing opportunity to teach them, fellowship with them, encourage and love them as a church in more ways than are possible during the school year. One of the greatest opportunities we provide our students with is that of summer Camp. Each year we are blessed with how God moves among us and we see many students enter into a personal relationship with God during this time. This year we will be going to camp in Orange Beach, Alabama. We are returning to Ken Freeman's Wild Week camp. It's an amazing experience. The worship atmosphere is incredible and the teaching is immersed in God's Word. This year's theme is "Operation I Am", finding out who we are in who He is. Out of the total number of teens who are planning on going to camp, approximately 65 percent are in need of financial assistance in order to actually get to go. We have also encouraged our students to invite other friends to join us for this opportunity. Those who are in need of financial assistance have agreed to participate in S.T.R.I.V.E. (Students Turning Reponsibility Into Valuable Experience). Students will be involved in various activities from picking up trash on our beaches, cleaning vacant lots and painting over graffiti. We use this as an opportunity to (1) show our community that we care and want to do our part to make this a great place to live and (2) raise money from within the church to help send more students to special events such as Youth Summer Camp. Two works days (May 10 and May 24) have been scheduled when the students will be volunteering in the Corpus Christi community and showing God's love. Please prayerfully consider contributing to this cause. We are trying to raise $9,000. Please mark S.T.R.I.V.E on your envelope or check when making a contribution. Please keep this effort and our
students in your prayers. Praise God for what he is doing in our
ministry, for the hearts to be open, for friends to be invited, and for
everyone who wants to participate to be able to take part. If you have any questions, please contact
