RT Focus

We desire to finish strong by: celebrating what God has done, and creating good closure and connections with anticipation for next year.

1) Praise God for the 12 students who have begun a relationship with Jesus and the 5 new volunteers at Southern Fulton RT.

2) Hancock RT began with 25 students and now has 49. Their number of volunteers is increasing due to school coordinator encouraging their volunteers to share with their home churches the need for more workers.

3) Akron RT has gained 4 new volunteers that have added excitement to their RT.

4) Hamilton Heights reports that there have been only 3 weeks when they did not have a new student.

5) Praise God for the 18 students who began a relationship with Jesus during our Energizer Connection this past weekend.

6) Below, Del Franz, a RT secretary, brought 15 students to the Energizer Connection event, along with 3 other volunteers.

"New friendships were formed and lives were changed.

One of our campers began a relationship with Jesus

and is so happy to know that he is loved regardless

of his faults and failures. His grandmother couldn't be

more pleased and cried tears of joy knowing that he is

starting a journey with Christ and will go to heaven."

7) A Barnabas "Fusion" event is taking place here at Joy El on Thursday, March 11th, an opportunity for mentors and mentorees to connect and share.

8) Our Guest Group this week: Grace Community Church/Frederick is having a youth retreat (March 2-4).
