YOUTH MISSION APPLICATION
“you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the ends of the earth.” Acts 1:8
THE MAIN THING: Developing fully devoted followers of Jesus Christ.
VISION: Young people living as transformed followers of Jesus Christ, passionately
committed to loving and serving as part of the Church in the present and the future.
STRATEGY: To REACH youth in grades 7 – 12 and their families, to EQUIP them in their walk,
and teaching them to be AUTHENTIC in life, ministry and worship, showing them how to LOVE
God and others.
Being on MISSION is a choice, and it is one we hope you’ll make. This is not another
program to attend. Being on MISSION is about making a commitment to serve on behalf
of others in order to make disciples of Christ.
Being on MISSION is a commitment and the most meaningful commitments are tough to
keep, but they are worth the effort because our priorities determine who we are, and who
we are becoming.
This packet will help you understand the commitment of serving on the First Baptist Youth
MISSIONS Team and will provide you with the next steps if you are interested in
participating in our 2017 Summer Mission trip.
