CALLED TO CARE

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.

Service is a vital part of the GBYouth ministry. Being on mission with Christ is the natural outworking of following Christ. (James 2.18).

MONTANA PARENTS

MONTANA PARENTS

A Note to Montana Parents.

We had a wonderful kick-off meeting yesterday afternoon for our Montana Mission. A few notes for moms and dads:

1. TRAVEL - 
We are researching travel options for Montana. It is most likely we will fly Albany//Atlanta//Billings then drive Billings//Poplar. Airfare is most affordable around 52 days from departure, so it may be mid May before we have our travel itinerary firmly established. We appreciate your patience.

2. PACKING -
We will provide team members with a comprehensive packing list as we get closer to departure.

3. EXPECTATIONS - 
- Weekly Mission Meetings.
It is mandatory that team members attend our weekly mission meetings held each Wednesday from 4:45-5:45P. These meetings are crucial to preparing our team members logistically and spiritually for the journey ahead. The meetings are also essential to the shaping of the team dynamics. Please refer to our Coming Up page at GBYouth.org/events to see all Montana activities (as well as other GBYouth activities).

- Attendance at GBYouth.  
Team members are expected to attend all GBYouth services- especially studies and small groups. This includes Sunday 9AM Small Groups, Sunday AM Corporate Worship, Sunday 5PM Bible Study with Pastor Chad, and Wednesday 6PM Common Ground. Studies and small groups are essential to the vision of both the GBYouth ministry and Gillionville Church.

- Assignments.  
Team members are to complete the journal assignments provided by the Youth Pastor. The assignments are essential in preparing the missionaries to share their testimony and present the gospel.

- Reading. 
Team members will be provided with the book Don't Waste Your Life by John Piper. They are to read the entire book by departure. Team members should also read through and meditate upon Romans and John's gospel (continually) from now until departure.

I appreciate parental support in these areas. Thank you.

4. FUNDRAISING - 
- Group.
Team members are expected to participate in group fundraising activities. Our first fundraiser will be a lunch on April 30. Please see the previous post below. 

- Individual.
Team members are encourage to do their own individual fundraising as well. 

Thanks to parents and grandparents for your support in our summer mission. We are very excited to see what the Lord will do in and through your teens! Please do not hesitate to contact me with any questions.

I love your hearts,
Bryan
