Church Youth ‘Converge’ On Pensacola

June 27, 2012

Youth from churches across Escambia County are taking part in Converge — part youth summer camp and part missions project to help the community.

From the North Escambia area,  youth groups from Highland Baptist in Molino and Ray’s Chapel in Bogia are taking part in Converge this week.  The youth are taking part in building a house with Habitat for Humanity, a beautification project at Warrington Middle School, a food drive for Manna Food Bank, handing out milk and bread in needy neighborhoods, and more.

And while working on the missions projects, the students are also sharing the Gospel of Jesus Christ, according to organizers.

    I am so glad to see the youth of our county come together and do such an amazing outreach. I to would like to see the followup on Converge. Glad also for my faith family church (Pine Summit Baptist Church) to be able to host these remarkable teens.
