Making a Splash this Summer
Another Summer Youth Leadership Program is in the books! We had a fantastic summer filled with Bible study, guest speakers, field trips, college tours, performances at multiple venues, and of course, lots of delicious food. Two of this program’s goals are to prepare these youth to be leaders in their community and school as well as be confident in sharing the Gospel with others. So be ready community…there are some new missionaries around town!
At the end of the summer, the participants tell us what they have learned, how they have grown as a person and believer in Christ, what they enjoyed most, and how can this program be improved. Here is some of what they shared:
“Meeting new people, building amazing friendships, and being able to witness the love of Christ to others was such an amazing blessing this summer!”
“I loved that I was able to meet new people and step out of my comfort zone. Although I still get nervous in front of large crowds, I remind myself that I shouldn’t care what others think and that God is always with me.”
“I enjoyed everything from the program. It was really nice and the new people that came in made it so much more fun :)”
“This summer was good and I liked how close we’ve all gotten with each other like family”
“Praying for them as we go our own ways and also that we all get closer to God and know that He is real and is King of Kings.”

“People will come from east and west and north and south, and will take their places at the feast in the kingdom of God.” Luke 13:29
At the end of June, the Hispanic Women’s Ministry had the pleasure to complete the Five Love Languages study. The ladies were more than thrilled that after more than a year of not being able to meet in person, we were finally able to host graduation for this class at the NCC. Due to Covid restrictions, we had the blessing to continue to meet through ZOOM, which in return has given us the opportunity to add ladies from other states such as Mississippi and Arkansas. One of our out-of-state graduates made a road trip from Mississippi and joined us for graduation. The ladies were also able to witness firsthand our Summer Youth Leadership Program along with touring the NCC where they learned about several areas that we serve in our community.
After completion of our Chasing Vines Study in the month of July, we have the great pleasure to announce that God’s Kingdom continues to expand by adding a lady from the state of Texas. What a blessing it has been to be part of His work!
During our meetings, our ladies are not only learning how to deal with life’s struggles but also learning how to pray and prosper their relationship with God; as we always strive to point each one of them to Jesus Christ and to find a church home so they may continue to mature in their faith.
Each one of us at the NCC, including the ladies of our Hispanic Ministry, are more than thankful for all the support that we receive from our donors in our community. We thank God for opening doors and for touching hearts in making all of this a possibility and a reality to spread the Good News of Jesus!
As always, we give God all the glory!
