HERE ARE THE 3 THINGS you need to know right now FOR CAMP!
Supporting Foster Care in South Georgia
Gbyouth is working to support Called to Care as they minister to foster children of all ages in our area. All children deserve to receive love and care, especially those who often times are scared and alone facing circumstances many could not imagine. The Lord calls us to be His hands and feet to those who are broken and hurting. As a youth ministry, we are especially sensitive to children and youth in the foster care system in our community and desire to show them the love of Christ. As Called to Care’s website says,
“With your help, we can positively impact children’s lives by offering love, support, and the family they need. Ultimately, this opens the door for us to share the love and hope of Jesus Christ through the gospel.”
Wanna join us?
Here are two ways you can give:
1. If you are interested in giving a monetary contribution toward the purchase of pajama for children entering into the foster system, please do so by visiting our contribution page at church center.
2. If you would rather purchase and donate new pajamas, simply bring them to the youth building on Sundays and Wednesdays. Called to Care currently needs pajamas for middle and high school children.
May we recommend a book?
The Benedict Option by Rod Dreher gives excellent insight to the post-Christian world. While this book has a few years on it (2017), its cultural critique and call to action is spot on.

OUR LATEST DESIGN LAB PROJECT
Most recently, our designers gathered to conduct and edit on-camera interviews. The students were asked to share some basics about their spiritual background as well as their aspirations for the coming year. The project ultimately provides an inspirational, testimonial component to our current Common Ground teaching series: SERVANT. The goal of this DSN project was multifold:
THE BIG IDEA: We can use our creativity to share our/God’s story.
Learn how to speak in an on-camera interview.
Learn about multi-camera capture and 3-point studio lighting.
Learn basic post-production editing skills.
MORE VIDEOS COMING SOON
Check back often to see more student interviews!
Design Lab is an immersive, creative, discipleship platform. Students learn how to use imagination and technology to worship and serve The LORD through visual media.
GBYouth’s Recent Community Service
September
Yet another historic spike in CoVid-19 cases has placed an undeniable strain on our local medical community. Phoebe Putney has been very transparent in communicating not only the logistical stress on our healthcare system, but the emotional toil it has taken on our healthcare workers. On September 1, Phoebe advertised a call for cards of encouragement for its medical workers. GBYouth immediately responded. We took Wednesday’s Common Ground session and chose to worship instead through service to others. Our students created dozens of handmade cards with scripture encouragements for our local doctors and nurses.
