by Joe A. Fitzpatrick, worship and music pastor
Thank you for your many prayers, words of encouragement, and financial support of our 2010 Youth Choir Mission Tour to Chicago, Illinois. Our group of 70 students and sponsors brought home some incredible memories from the life-changing encounters they shared together while on Mission for God in Chicago this summer. We prayed for the kind of experiences which could only be explained by the powerful movement of God in our midst. It is without question God heard our prayers and poured out His incredible blessings on our team as we ministered in His matchless Name.
This outstanding group of students gave so faithfully of themselves to provide ministry and lead Vacation Bible School for over 70 children with the Iglesia Bautista Hebron (Hebron Baptist Church) and La Mision de Jesús (The Mission of Jesus), two Hispanic congregations located on the outskirts of Downtown Chicago. Our Youth Choir also presented concerts and shared the love of Christ in various civic venues including Navy Pier, Shriners Hospital for Children, Pacific Garden Mission, the Illinois Youth Detention Center, and Edward Hines VA Hospital. The students led worship at the Brainard Avenue Baptist Church, La Mision de Jesús, and Uptown Baptist Church. We recorded more than 18 professions of faith during our mission adventure, and countless lives were touched by the music, ministry, and mission endeavors in which our students were engaged.
You can experience additional details regarding our trip by visiting our mission tour website, fbcnashvilleyouthchoir.com, where we posted daily updates, prayer requests, photographs, and more. Thank you once again for your continued support of our students and the Youth Choir of First Baptist Nashville.
Soli Deo Gloria!
