Welcome to the newly launched WILD youth ministry Blog. We are a FLAG ministry that meets every Wednesday night from 7:00 to 8:30pm. We have a group of 30 to 35 energized on-fire teens that hangout with us on a weekly basis. We have teens from Pittsburg high school and middle school, colombus, Girard, Frontenac, and Northeast high schools. Our teens vary from 12 to 18 years of age. We currently have foreign exchange students from Germany, Korean, Vietnam and Italy.
We have had an exciting summer where God has been doing some exciting things in the lives of our teens. Starting with Summer Camp where teens gave their lives to God for the first time to teens getting baptized in the Holy Spirit. During our Wednesday night services, God has been doing some awesome stuff in the lives of our teens. He has been challenging some teens to step out of their comfort zone and take bold steps for Him. We have a group of 9 teens that have signed up for a Campus Missionaries training conference (Release) in Paola KS. These 9 teens want to be equipped to be missionaries to their schools. This is an exciting time in the life of our youth ministry. I feel that God has great plans for our schools and he is preparing teens across our nation to step up to the plate.
We kicked off summer with a road trip to Joplin were we hung out at Fuddruckers and Lazer City. We then had a swimming and Air soft event. We also had a Back to School lockin and Scavenger Hunt, which was a great success. We are getting ready to begin our PSU concession stand fundraiser to raise funds for Speed The Light missions giving. This will also give teens an opportunity to raise funds for their own teen accounts. We also have a camping night coming up in October and Youth Convention in November.
If you are a parent that has a teenager that is not involved in a youth ministry I strongly encourage you to get them plugged in so that they can build Vertical and Horizontal relationships.
