DNOW 2020
Thank you, church, for all your continued support of our student ministry, especially during DNOW weekend! We had an absolute blast getting to worship and fellowship along with our friends from Hazelwood Baptist Church and Chesterfield Community Church. Over this weekend we learned about “How to Come Home,” with our theme of Prodigal. The Gospel was clearly presented by our speaker Leon Douglas and worship was a powerful, moving experience thanks to our phenomenal band! We had 12 amazing college students and leaders step up and give their weekends to love on our students and lead them in Small Groups. We had 5 different families give up their homes for the weekend, multiple volunteers donate food, workers who were here around the clock to ensure that this weekend ran smoothly, but most importantly, we had a church that was devoted in prayer for everyone involved in this weekend. Once again, church, thank you! No matter how big or small your contribution was, it was felt and appreciated by all who were involved in this weekend. Without your support, we could not put on events like Disciple Now. Continue to pray for our students, that the seeds that were planted will take root and that the Gospel will forever change their lives!

DNOW 2020
DNOW is just a few days away! This year’s Disciple Now Weekend will be taking place March 6-8. In case you don’t know what DNOW is, it is our weekend long local retreat for 6th-12th graders where they will be split up into small groups for the weekend and dive deep into our theme this year called “Prodigal.” This theme will take us into the parable of the Prodigal Son in Luke 15 where we will explore the stories of the three main characters, then wrap up by learning how we can come home. This weekend will be led in worship by a collection of past and present MoBap students, including Guy Shaw, and our speaker Leon Douglas. We are also blessed to be joined by students from Chesterfield Community Church and Hazelwood Baptist Church this year! We hope that you will join us and that you will invite your friends! Be praying for our students and leaders as we prepare for this amazing Gospel-filled weekend!

2019 has been an amazing year for our youth department!
We kicked off our year with our DNOW weekend and our theme of “Everlasting.” Through this we explored our theme verse of John 3:16, and how we can view that verse as a promise of hope, instead of just seeing it as the first verse you might memorize in church. Barrett Moore brought a powerful message throughout the week and our band, Guy Shaw, Maddi and Jon Yarbrough, Steve O’Neal, and Stuart Harrier, led us in phenomenal worship!
In June we took a team of 31 students and adults to Houston, Texas to serve with World Changers for a week. This was a beneficial week to all who were involved to have the opportunity to help with Hurricane Harvey repairs serving alongside other churches. Trading in comfort for hard labor is never an easy transition for students but they all served faithfully and were great leaders in work ethic, leading bible studies, and Gospel presentations.
It has been a blessing to serve the students here at Fee Fee over the last year. As a student at Missouri Baptist, it has been an amazing opportunity to learn first-hand what I am studying on campus. Many of my peers do not have the opportunities I have been given, so I am incredibly thankful to be a part of a church body that has come alongside me and poured their love into me while I continue on this journey. I am looking forward to continuing my education at school and my training towards licensure and ordination here at Fee Fee with Pastor Zach. Most importantly, I am really looking forward to building deeper relationships with our students and leaders as we continue to reach out to our local community. See you in 2020!
