Why We Are Here

World Changers asks that each participant ask him or herself an important question -- "Why am I here?" As part of youth group devotions Monday night, groups will be discussing evangelism and the importance of sharing Jesus Christ with the people of Chattanooga this week. Youth group leaders will receive Why We're Here cards in their registration packs on Monday to share with students and adults, as well as to discuss with them. There will also be further information for group leaders in their folders when they arrive, and it will be discussed at the adult meeting.  Gregg, our speaker, will talk about it at the end of his message, and group leaders will take it to youth group devotions where they can make sure everyone understands how to share Christ with others.  Please be praying for the many people in Chattanooga who need Jesus Christ in their lives. World Changers may be the only Jesus they ever see, so pray for many opportunities to share.

Encouragrams!

When packing for this World Changers trip, don't forget to include some colored pens, stickers, and markers for your Encouragrams! A very vital part of your World Changers week is your visit to your Encouragram envelope where friends and crew mates can place encouraging notes for you and where you may do the same. Encouragrams are a great way to give others a kind and encouraging word to make their day!

Our First Aid Coordinator

There will be a very special lady taking care of us at Chattanooga World Changers -- our First Aid Coordinator!   Trish Myers will be working with us to make sure everyone is well taken care of all week. Trish will be posted at Brainerd Baptist during the day and will make calls to the work sites, as well as caring for us at the church in the evenings.

Trish was born and raised in Texas, and proud to be a Baylor Bear!  She and her husband  have 4 children and cannot wait for World Changers 2014, because our youngest will be old enough for entire family to serve on a project together.  Trish was introduced to World Changers by her older sister Terri who has served on countless projects and who brought World Changers to Church in Trophy Club; she will also be in Chattanooga.  Trish's husband and she trade off years working at World Changers, she was a crew encourager two years ago in Alabama and has served as a support person on 2 projects close to home.  She loves to serve others through her church and scouting.  Trish also finds working with youth extremely rewarding because they always challenge her to learn just as much she challenges them!  Her 3 oldest children -- Treyann, Jamie and Matthew -- will be working on this project as well.

 

Trish is an American Red Cross Instructor, an EMT, and an athletic trainer -- she firmly believes that you can fix anything with enough tape!  We are so very excited about having Trish as our FAC in Chattanooga!
