It's definitely God's Work!

Tim ...Let me tell you about some people in our church in Tennessee. We have a couple in our church who returned from three years on mission field in Turkey. They did a lot with the M.K.'s there and before leaving the U.S. were our youth leaders for fifteen years.I will pass along information about the web site to them. There is also a young man from Maryville that has such a testimony of his own and what God did through him at Alcoa Baptist Chuch with the youth. In a little over a year a mission group for his church has grown from one week in rural Kentucky to one month last year ionvolving many churches in the Maryville/Knoxville area! The local Baptist association has recently bought a school building which we are working on. This summer's youth program at this location will have about 1,600 youth attending.

I will commit to praying for you, your youth group and church. Please pray for our group, as we will be traveling to eastern KY to work on the old school building, mentioned above, that our Baptist association bought as a mission location. This mission grew from 1 church/1 week to 20-30 churches/4 weeks last year! The school closed last year and the building was bought this past fall! The area is coal mining, and very poor. And now to have a place to use for year round missions, is definitely God at work. I could write you a book on how God has used this young man!

Rocky Branch Missionary is a small church, too. We probably have 100-135 on Sunday am. Just watch for where God is working and join him there.

Editor's Note: Thank you for sharing with us, Vicki . I am so pleased to hear about your church reaching out to coal miner's families. This is a group of needy people many Christians have forgotten in the midst of the hurricanes (New Orleans) and tsunamis of the past few years..

If anyone wishes to write to Vicki, please send your message to: TimFerguson@christianyouthgroup.org. and it will be posted on this website. Vicki will be notified of the posting.
