Dear Church Family,

During the month of June we conducted our Vacation Bible School and it

was a fun week. I am grateful for everyone who gave of their time and

other resources to make it a success. You are a great bunch of folks who

rose to the occasion. I dont have a final count, but I know of six older

children/youth who trusted Christ for salvation, and some rededications.

That is always something to celebrate.

We know that summer is here. We can tell from the temperature, summer

thunderstorms, and the many who are away on vacation. Even though it is

summertime, we are still busy as we plan and calendar for fall and next

year. We have a couple of new ministries in the works and will be sharing

details in the next few weeks. It is not a new ministry, but I am busy

praying and planning for a big push in the area of our Sunday morning

LIFE Groups. As you know, that is something that is near to my heart. It

will continue to be our main strategy for being on mission. We will

utilize other ways to reach and disciple, but we are going to remain

committed to our small group strategy for doing the Great

Commission (Matthew 28:19-20).

We are around the corner from the July 4th holiday. As we celebrate our

freedoms, in this great country in which we live, lets celebrate our

freedom in the Lord Jesus. We can do that by offering thanks to Him,

giving Him the praise and honor that He deserves and is worthy of. When

you are in town, be involved in Bible study and worship. Join together with

the church family as we celebrate our living Lord and watch Him work!

In His great love,

Bro. DarrolBro. DarrolBro. DarrolBro. Darrol

Dear Church Family,

July is here and we are off to camp! Dont forget to thank God for the grace He has given and pray for his

continued blessings on our nation as we celebrate our independence.

Our students are very excited about all the activities that we have

coming up in the next few months. Please remember, July 21st will

be our first day of Super Summer 2014! Sponsored by the Florida

Baptist Convention at Lake Yale. Please begin to pray for the

hearts of those who are going this year (listed below). Pray

that this camp experience will radically change their hearts for

Christ and the community, so that on their return they may impact Frostproof in a way we have

never seen before. Here is a camp roster so that you may pray for them by name.

Also, just a reminder that August is coming up, signaling our huge back to school bash known as MOBILIZE.

This years event falls on August 23, the Saturday after school starts, so mark your calendars and begin to

prepare. MOBILIZE is one of the biggest evangelism events of the year that FBC Frostproof presents; so we

will need all the help we can get!

Thank you for everything that you do, and we are looking forward to a great summer here at O2 Youth!

In His Grip,

Bro. Brian mobilize

Polk County Schools HEARTH Project

The Polk County School Board Hearth project is responsible for meeting the educational needs

of students who are experiencing homelessness in Polk County. We work under the federal law,

the McKinney-Vento Act, which allows for immediate school access and stability for students

experiencing homelessness. The Hearth staff of four diligently works to ensure that these rights

are met for Polk County students throughout the school year. Hearth has identified over 4,000

students who were eligible for McKinney-Vento services this 2013-2014 school year.

The Hearth staff is humbly asking for assistance from the churches in our community to meet

the basic hygiene need for the Hearth students. If each church assembles fifty hygiene

packages one time a year, the need will be met.

For the 2013-2014 school year, four generous churches provided 235 hygiene packs and we

are so grateful. With their help and with the help of several other individuals and community

groups a total of 841 students received a hygiene pack this school year.

Each Hygiene pack should minimally include:

Full size shampoo and conditioner

One or two bars of soap

One full size tube of toothpaste

One packaged toothbrush

One hairbrush and/or comb

One wash cloth

One or two deodorants

You are welcome to individualize the hygiene bags with products for male or female elementary

students, male or female teenage students, or generic non-gender hygiene products. All

products should be packaged in a one gallon Ziploc bag. Our church goal is to complete 75 bags

by the first of September. Please bring the hygiene bags to the church office.

Thank you in advance for your willingness to partner with Polk County Schools Hearth Project

to help meet this need for the students in Polk County Schools who are experiencing

homelessness.

Hunger Awareness Day

Sunday, July 13, 2014

A generous person will be blessed, for he shares his food with the poor. Proverbs 22:9

Hunger is the number one health risk in the world. Twenty four thousand people die due to hunger every day. Only ten percent of hunger deaths result form famine and wars. Hunger kills most people through chronic malnutrition.

Many people may believe that the problems associated with hunger are confined to certain socio-economic segments, certain areas of the county, or certain neighborhoods, but the reality is much different. These are often hard-working adults, children and seniors who simply cannot make financial ends meet and are forced to go without food for several meals, or even days.

In addition to financial support to the Florida Baptist Convention, this year our church will also support the Frostproof Care Center through food donations or a monetary gift. The following food items are needed for the Care Center pantry; rice, can or dry evaporated milk, dry beans, peanut butter, jelly, can fruit, soups and string spaghetti.

Your gift will make a difference when sharing with those in need.

Hunger Facts

30 percent of senior adult households in America have to choose

between buying food and paying for utilities and heating fuel.

50 percent of all non-elderly low-income families who were helped

through a food pantry in the U.S. last year were working families with

children.

70,500 children in Florida are homeless. Only seven states have more

homeless children.

Pray For America

Despite its foundational Christian heritage, America is rapidly degenerating into a godless

society. The church in America, although highly visible and active, appears powerless to

redirect the rushing secular currents. Mired in a moral and spiritual crisis, America's only

hope is a national revival, like God has graciously bestowed in the past.
