The Lord is opening doors for FBC Goodlettsville this year to impact the world around us. This summer, we have nearly 100 members of our church committed to go on mission trips or to summer camps. I believe that this summer is pivotal as we seek to carry out our part of the mission of Acts 1:8. People from our congregation will be directly impacting the people of Porto Seguro, Brazil and Los Angeles as we carry adults and students to some of the most impoverished and unchurched areas of those cities. In addition, the number of children and youth that we have going to camps this summer is the highest it has been in many years. As a congregation, we are called by God to pray, give, and go to see the Gospel carried to the ends of the earth.

Take time to pray and think about contributing to the trips we have this summer:

Porto Seguro, Brazil (June 10-19) – A team of 12 members of FBC Goodlettsville will join church members from FBC Dyersburg and Englewood Baptist in Jackson, TN to impact the city of Porto Seguro, Brazil with the Gospel of Jesus Christ. Our team will minister to people by distributing shoes to children, teaching basic dental hygiene, and and giving glasses to adults. At each of those ministries, our people will also be sharing the Gospel with everyone that comes through the project. Over the last 6 years, God has blessed our involvement with the people in Porto Seguro as we have seen over 1,000 people make a first time commitment to Christ and numerous others go deeper in their faith.

Los Angeles, CA (June 25-July 3) – A team of 30 people from FBC Goodlettsville will be traveling to Los Angeles, CA this summer. While in LA, our church will work primarily with Unity Church in El Segundo. During the trip, our team will be involved in passing out information to the community about the church, delivering food to the homeless in the area, and taking surveys about the spiritual needs of the community around the church. The team’s primary task in Los Angeles will be conducting a three day sports camp in the area.

Centrifuge (June 14-19) – This camp will be for our middle school students.  They will be traveling to Mississippi College for a week where they are able to get away from all of the distractions they face in every day life — video games, sports, tv, etc.– and have a week full of learning more about God and how much He loves them all while having a ton of fun!

Centrikid (July 6-10) – The 3rd-6th grade kids will be heading down to Shocco Springs Conference Center in Talladega, AL for a fun-filled week at CentriKid Camps! This year, our kids will be learning about the spiritual practices that help them grow in their faith. CentriKid will help campers internalize God’s word and allow Him to be their teacher and will seek to provide kids with some practical, take-it-home tools for using spiritual practices as they grow their faith.

It will be a summer full of our church members growing in their relationships with the Lord and following His call on their lives.  Join us as we pray for the ministry that will be happening through and in the hearts of our members at FBC Goodlettsville.
