WHAT IS GENERATE ALL ABOUT?

You serve students during a great and important time. We know that there are many resources, and even many camps available that can serve your needs. These days are critical in the faith formation of your students. At GENERATE our team will work hard to serve you and your needs well while creating an experience that will impact the other 51-weeks in your ministry year. We are strategic and intentional to create experiences where the name of Jesus is lifted up, where the Gospel is proclaimed through the preaching and studying of the Word, and where not only are students encouraged to take the next step in their faith journey, but the challenge and opportunity to be a person of global impact is clear. These experiences happen in times of personal devotion, in small group times of reading, listening and responding, in group building and serving, in times of corporate worship, and in strategic times with your church.

In the end, a camp can’t really change a life, but a real experience with God can. We don’t want to simply create moments. We want to partner with you and be a part of moments that matter through the work of God.

Mission Trip to Panama

Posted on by Cindy
Come to Panama and work alongside local believers to share the love and truth of Jesus Christ through prayer walking, gospel distribution and working in local school ministries that support the outreach ministries of a local Baptist church. During the week there will also be an opportunity to minister in an orphanage and participate in community events with opportunities to share the gospel. Our goal is to connect and equip national and US church partners with opportunities in Central America and the Caribbean to share the Gospel, make disciples, meet human needs and plant and empower healthy churches to take the Gospel to the ends of the earth.
April 2-9, 2022
Cost:  $925 + airfare, insurance, and visa costs
The Missions Committee will help you with the airfare, and will have a fundraiser if needed.  If you are interested, apply for your passport today.  Contact Ruth Cardoza, Tresa Timpa, or Bill Armstrong for more information.

Lunch & A Movie

Posted on by Cindy

In The Girl Who Believes in Miracles, young Sara Hopkins is, unlike most people, willing to take God at His word. So when she hears a preacher say faith can move mountains, she starts praying! What begins with a mysteriously healed bird leads to people suddenly cured of their misery and misfortune all over town. But the overwhelming crush of notoriety and press attention soon takes its toll on Sara. Will her family be able to save their miracle girl before it’s too late?

Ladies, please join us for this event. We are looking for women to connect with youth girls and be a good role model for them.

Fried chicken will be provided. Please bring sides/desserts.

RSVP to Linda at 337.368.5312

Rhythms of Renewal

Posted on by Cindy
REST. RESTORE. CONNECT. CREATE.

The one question Rebekah Lyons hears from those she meets around the country is, “As I begin to experience freedom, what practical steps can I take each day for sustained emotional, spiritual and relational health?”

In Rhythms of Renewal you will walk through four practical rhythms to establish in your life - Rest, Restore, Connect, Create - that will help you discover how to:

  • Take charge of your emotional health, and inspire loved ones to do the same.
  • Overcome anxiety with daily habits that strengthen you mentally and physically.
  • Find joy through restored relationships in your family and community.
  • Walk in confidence with the unique gifts you have to offer the world.

Rhythms of Renewal will begin on Wednesday, Jan. 19th at 6pm in the Young Couple's room.

Elijah Bible Study

Posted on by Cindy

Old Testament heroes are best known for their most celebrated moments: Moses dividing the Red Sea; David slaying Goliath; Gideon routing an insurmountable army; Joshua marching around the defiant walls of Jericho. And Elijah—calling down fire on Mount Carmel.

Blinded by the remarkable narratives of our biblical heroes, we can forget they each had a backstory—months and years of development, even difficulty, which fortified their spiritual muscle and prepared them for the tasks that made their lives unforgettable.

Join our 7-week Women's Bible Study on Elijah

  • Starting Tuesday, January 11
  • 2 times to choose from: 10am or 6pm
