ENGAGING YOUTH

2022 E TN NMI Trevecca Scholarship  Application for Mission Passionate HS Seniors Now Available

For several years, E TN NMI has awarded two Trevecca scholarships annually to two MISSION PASSIONATE high school seniors who have shown a real interest in missions on the local or district level.  The students are not necessarily mission called youth.  The $500 scholarships are matched by Trevecca, making the entire scholarship $1,000. Scholarship applications are available at  http://etnmi.org/forms/

Real Life Youth Shop for Blessing Box

Tristan Garbison, Luke Johnson and Rylan Selvidge served their community by stocking the Blessing Box in the Real Life Church parking lot.  The box is always unlocked, ready or persons needing food to get what they need.  But the Blessing Box has been emptied almost daily recently.  So, Pastor Kristie Selvidge took the teens shopping.  They learned how to best spend their money to get the best deals…to serve more families!  Youth at Real Life clean and stock the Blessing Box, promote missionary offerings, count Alabaster offerings, and engage children, adults & other youth in missions.

PLEASE SEND PICTURES AND STORIES OF HOW YOUR CHURCH IS ENGAGING YOUTH IN MISSIONS!
