Youth On A Mission

August 5, 2012

Youth from a Texas church teamed up with youth from a Molino church last week on a mission to make an impact across Escambia County.

Over 100 youth and their adult leaders from Highland Baptist Church in Molino and Friendship Baptist Church of Cleburne, TX, worked together and served in “Mission Molino” from Molino to Pensacola Beach.

On the first day of Mission Molino, the youth teamed up with Barefoot Ministries of Gulf Shores at Pensacola Beach. The youth passed out free water with Gospel tracts, gave away free Bibles and New Testaments, shared the Gospel with salvation bracelets, painted faces and even held a Bible story sand sculpting contest.

The second day of Mission Molino saw the youth working at Molino Park Elementary School. They help prepare the campus for the first day of school by moving items, cleaning, sweeping, washing windows, pulling weeds and many other tasks to prepare Molino Park for the return of students.

One the third day, the youth worked at the homes of widowed and elderly residents around Molino. The youth performed yard work, planted flowers, trimmed trees and shrubs and more.

Mission Molino concluded with the Highland members showing their Texas friends some of the local sites — Ft. Pickens and the Naval Aviation Museum, along with some beach fun — including a Beach baptism service.

Each evening of the week, the students enjoyed a meal prepared by Highland volunteers and a time of worship.
