Valentine's Banquet

The WILD youth ministries organized the Valentine's Banquet at the parrot bey. This was a "Speed the Light" missions fundraiser. We had a night filled with romantic atmosphere which included music, food, dancing and door prizes. This event was well attended and was a great success. Thank you to all who helped and participated to make it a great missions fundraiser.

HOUSE OF BOUNCE



The WILD youth went WILD at the House of Bounce during our January road trip. We had about 25 teens that made the trip. We had some of our sponsors that had as much fun or even more fun that the teens. After we were done burning up tons of calories we headed over to Woody's Smoke House to fill up on some scrumptious BBQ. For more photos please click here

WILD CAMP-OUT




The WILD youth ministries had their annual fall camp-out at the Hisey's residence just out side Pittsburg city limits. We had about 25 teens that had a great time camping out. Some of the fun events planned for the evening were flag football, air soft, an outdoor movie & cooking s'mores around the camp fire. We had a great time of worship lead by pastor Nathan followed by a time of sharing where teens opened up and shared how God was working great things in their lives. We ended our camp-out on a chilly Saturday morning sitting around the camp fire eating doughnuts, drinking orange juice and watching the lighting at a distance.

CAMPUS MISSIONARY CONFERENCE


A group of 8 teens traveled to Paola Kansa to attend a Campus Missionary Conference entitled “Released”. These 8 teens willingly signed up to be trained to be missionaries to their middle and high schools. The conference was very powerful and the teens were significantly challenged to “step up to the plate” of friendship evangelism. They were informed of the urgency for teenagers’ lives to be changed in schools across the nation. Statistics show that currently only 4% of American students KNOW who Jesus is. We currently have the biggest missions field sitting at our teens’ fingertips. Five areas of focus were explained and applied to help students in their new endeavor: PRAY, LIVE, SERVE, GIVE & TELL.

Many of the teens attending Wild Youth are excited about sharing the message of Christ in their schools and are willing to take extreme measures to make Christ known. Each student that attended “Released” has agreed to meet bi-weekly to discuss a “field manual” of evangelism recommended at the conference called “G5.” Each student will continue to be trained and encouraged in this great mission. Currently FLAG has Campus Missionaries to PHS, PMS, Girard, Frontenac, and Columbus.

I challenge you to keep our Campus Missionaries in prayer. These students are the future of American Christianity and need your support.
