Summer Ministries Kick-off is Here!

Hello everyone!

I am very pleased to announce the beginning of our summer ministries this year! Our Christian Youth in Action program has already kicked off with some pre-training meetings teaching the basics of sharing the Gospel one on one. On Sunday June 6th, we will be heading down to our week-long state training camp where teens from across Alabama will receive training in teaching Bible lessons, songs, games, memory verses, and more. Our chapter has five teens this year: Kara, Sophia, Layne, Lauren, and Cade. We are so thankful for God building this team for the summer.

These teens will be teaching 5-Day Clubs throughout north Alabama this summer. We are so thankful that we will be able to have many in-person clubs this year!

We are very excited about what God is going to do this summer through this team, and we invite you to be part of it as well by joining with us in prayer. Prayer is an essential part of any ministry because on our own we are not capable of anything good. God is the one who brings the increase!

Join us in thanking God for:

*The five teens volunteering this summer

*Locations in which to teach clubs

Please continue to pray for:

*God to prepare the hearts of the children we will be teaching

*Safety at the training camp

*Growth in the spiritual life of each of the teens

I cannot wait to continue to share with you how God works throughout this summer!

In Christ,
