Student Mission Group Testimonies

This was an experience of a lifetime for me and my youth. Thank you for giving us an opportunity to obey Christ’s command to do missions. Thank you for helping open our eyes to ways we can do missions in our community. – Jessica Steward of Cedartown, GA on her group’s experience in Charleston, SC
I thank the Lord for the opportunity to be able to serve along side so many different church groups from all over our country. It also gives me encouragement to see teens come to serve others. Working in the inner city with troubled youth and children, I can get discouraged at times. Seeing God use these youth as He does, gives me renewed hope for those children I work with each day. – Bonnie McMinn, Maumee Valley Baptist Center, Toledo, Ohio on having a student mission group help in her ministry
On the way to Cheyenne, I was reflecting back to the mission trip we took last year to Montana. I had met a little boy there named Adam and was wondering if I would meet another Adam this year. I didn't. I met lots." -Thomas Tipps, student from Kinta, OK, whose youth group did Back Yard Bible Clubs in Cheyenne, WY

How You Can Be Involved!

Would you like for your youth group to be a Student Mission Group? Whether this will be your group’s first mission trip or 12th, there is a place for you! Each youth group has its own identity, as does yours. Perhaps you have a strong youth choir, or maybe a great youth drama team. Maybe some of you could teach younger kids the fundamentals of soccer or basketball. What about a Backyard Bible Club to help another church reach its community? And all of this in the name of Jesus! Sound exciting, like something you want to be a part of?
Tell your youth minister to check out this website, especially the tab under Youth Leaders. We’ve got lots of stuff to help them plan the ultimate missions experience for your church youth group.
