World Changers Mission Trip- Birmingham, AL

2010-06-21T15:19:00.002-04:00

We went to World Changers Birmingham this week! It was an amazing experience for the 10 people that went on this trip. The focus of the week was being Unhindered. Nothing holding us back in our lives for Christ. Through the blood, sweat, and tears of hard work and the tests of endurance, we all grew in Christ. From 7 am to 4 pm every day we fixed roofs and painted everything imaginable on the outsides of houses. I believe that He really taught us all patience, perseverance, and renewed a love for the lost in our hearts. The concert of prayer, which was on Thursday night, was an awesome service. We all gave up hindrances in our lives at the foot of the cross. A rough rock, which represented a hindrance, was replaced with a smooth one, showing that we were different and ready to serve Him fully. Jesus made Himself real to our youth group. Not only that, but we grew as a group as a whole. He drew us together by drawing us to Him. Here is some of the success that was achieved through this trip;
147 gospel presentations, 3 accepted Jesus as Savior, 2 recommitted lives, 21 wanted more info, 52 requested prayer, 114 tracts accepted! Praise God! I would like to thank the church body of Morgans Baptist for supporting this trip. We may not have been able to have gone without you.
Will you live UNHINDERED?

Metamorphosis 2010

2010-03-22T06:15:00.006-04:00

Metemorphosis was a blast! The Lord really moved during the weekend of March 5-7, 2010! Our youth went down to Durham, NC and encountered the Lord during an excellent Disciple Now weekend. Our students enjoyed great fellowship with our host church, Gorman Baptist Church in Durham.

There were over 500 students and leaders attending the event! You can check out a video from this years event at http://www.metamorphosis-durham.com/

We had an excellent study in our groups on the Rivalry for our lives between the world and the Lord. The students were grouped in homes where MS guys, HS guys, MS girls, HS girls where they fellowshipped and focused on the Word of God together.

The students all partnered together to make meals with Stop Hunger Now. We made over 80,000 meals for the people of Haiti! Praise the Lord! Check out this ministry - www.stophungernow.org

We enjoyed great preaching corprately by Nathan Smith, worship by Seth Condrey at Ebeneazor Baptist Church. Many of our students were convicted to live for God and surrender their lives to ministry! Praise the Lord! Our students also were convicted to reconcile with each other and start loving each other as the Lord has commanded us as Disciples! The Lord is so Awesome! It was a great weekend! Can't wait till next time!

Love you all,

Pastor Mike

Our youth will be attending a Disciple Now Weekend!!

The Youth Service was Awesome!

2010-01-13T15:25:00.004-05:00

The Youth Service was a great success! The Lord blessed us all with His presence and the worship experience was heavenly! Our students served our Lord in Scripture reading, song, and skits. The service was well attended with around a 100 people in attendance. I believe all that attended left with a blessing. We are praying about doing another service soon! Thank you Lord for allowing us to bask in your marvelous light!!

Youth Led Service - January 10 @ 6:30pm!!

2009-12-18T09:03:00.004-05:00

Our youth has been busy working on a total youth led service. It will be on January 10, 2010 @ 6:30pm. Our theme is a "Marvelous Light" based upon 1 Peter 2:9-10. The youth will lead worship through song, skits, special music, and Scripture.

Our goal is to lift the name of Jesus high! May the Lord be glorified by our acts of service. See you there!!

Camp Highlights/ Photos

Well we are back from Camp! We had the greatest time! The Lord moved mightily upon all who attended Foundation Camp this year.

Some highlights:

Anthony and Dalton accepted the Lord as their Savior!
Trevor Woolwine felt a call from the Lord to full time ministry as a pastor!
Sam Mallory felt a call to ministry as a worship leader!
Alannie Marshall senses that the Lord wants her to be a pastor's wife!

Everyone made significant breakthroughs spiritually! We all were honored by the Lord's presence at every worship service. Please pray that the students will continue the spiritual momentum that began at camp. WE look forward to seeing everyone at church this Sunday!

Tuesday/ Wednesday Camp Highlights

2009-06-24T19:10:00.002-04:00

We have enjoyed Great Preaching on Tuesday morning and night. The fruit of it is two salvations from our group!! Praise the Lord! Dalton and Anthony went forward and accepted Christ as their Savior after John preached on the rich young ruler from Mark 10:13. The main thrust of his message was the 3 fundamental aspects of man's response to the gospel. He stressed surrendering our intellect, emotion, and will to Jesus. It was so beautiful seeing so many students surrendering to the call of our Lord.

Please pray for our students. The need for a deeper walk with God is the focus of our camp. May God grant this in each student.

We have enjoyed the great praise music and worship. Tonight the contemporary Christian artist Echoing Angels are giving us a concert so it should be a blast! Rockin the world for Jesus and suffering for Christ at the beach, See ya!

Here We Go!

2009-06-23T09:23:00.002-04:00

We are here!!! Foundation Camp 2009!

2009-06-23T07:24:00.002-04:00

We arrived safely @ 2:30pm on Monday. Camp is excellent! We were all very tired but excited to be here at Foundation Camp 2009. Camp is on the beach this year an Hilton Head Island, SC.

Some highlights from the first day:

Elizabeth had a great quote on our way down - "What country are we going to?" It was priceless! We stopped at Bojangles for breakfast and McDonald's for lunch. Camp is right on the beach and as soon we checked into our rooms, we headed straight for the beach!

We had a great time relaxing, hunting for sand dollars, swimming, playing a vigorous game of keep away with a soccer ball. We then headed for dinner where we had chicken, vegetables, bread, and banana pudding for dessert.

The first service that night followed and John Welborn challenged us all by defining what a "Christian" should look like. The text was 2 Corinthians 5:17. Everyone at camp was challenged to evaluate their own relationship to Christ.

Please pray for our youth as they apply the Word to their lives. We had many who made decisions to follow the Lord with all their hearts. Pray that we would all be open to the Holy Spirit's leading.

Pictures will be posted later today, so keep checking back!
