Youth Ministry Presenting Students Mature in Christ Him we proclaim, warning everyone and teaching everyone with all wisdom, that we may present everyone mature in Christ. - Col 1:28 Maturity in Christ means Christlikeness. We value Christlikeness in all areas of life which we've summed up in four words: Humility : "It's not about me." We are dedicated to teaching students to deny themselves, pick up their cross daily, and follow Jesus. (Philippians 2:1-11) Hospitality : "It's about them." We are dedicated to teaching students to behave in such a way that every stranger can be treated like a neighbor. (Luke 10:25-37) Love: "It's about 'us'." We are dedicated to teaching students to think with a "we first" mentality, not a "me first" mentality. To participate in youth group and to encourage others before trying to be encouraged themselves. (John 13:34) Devotion: "It's about Him." We are dedicated to teaching students not merely about God, but to know God and how to seek Him out for the rest of their lives. Our goal is not to just give information about God, but to build lifelong disciples.

Where: Camp Barnabas | Purdy, MO About Camp Barnabas: Camp Barnabas is a ministry in Southwest Missouri dedicated to providing a unique Christian summer camp experience to individuals with special needs, their siblings, and youth from across the United States. It’s a summer full of fishing, canoeing, archery, ziplining, swimming, mini-golf, and so much more. We want our Campers to have a summer just like everyone else because, for most of the year, our Campers are on the outside. They spend their year adapting and making modifications to their lives and routines in order to function in the world around them. At Camp Barnabas, we want our Campers to feel limitless. We want to create a place where they can feel the freedom to be who they were designed to be. When: June 27-July 3, 2026. How much: $350-$400 This trip is no longer accepting applications. DONATE Camper Scholarship Opportunity Last summer, GCC Global sent a short-term team to Camp Barnabas. Thanks to generous giving, more funds were raised than were needed, and the Missions Board has approved using the remaining amount to provide camper scholarships. If you know a family with a child, teen, or adult with a disability who would enjoy a week at a camp designed just for them, you can invite them to apply for a scholarship by sending them here for details and the link to the application. (Priority will be given to individuals with a direct connection to GCC.) Campers do not need to attend Camp Barnabas the same week as the short-term team and may choose any available session. Each week of camp is designed with different groups in mind, so check out the website for more information. campbarnabas.org CAMP BARNABAS SCHOLARSHIP APPLICATION

Our Global Workers Paul and Angie Kimball School of Missionary Aviation Mission Focus Our mission is to be a part of reaching the nations with the gospel of Christ by training the next generation of mission aviators. As full-time missionaries with Proclaim Aviation assigned to SMAT in Ionia, Michigan, we get to be a part of equipping families to share the love of Jesus in remote areas of the world where aviation provides access to medical care, transportation, and the gospel. Paul is SMAT's Chief Flight Instructor, helping to teach the flight students in ground school and in the airplane, and also mentoring and supervising the other flight instructors. Angie works part-time in the office and is also involved in ministry with the female students and student wives. Testimony Paul's Testimony I grew up in Sierra Leone, West Africa, where my parents ministered among the Loko people and completed a New Testament translation for them. Having been raised in a Christian home, I heard the Gospel and watched it being lived out in my parents’ lives from the time of my earliest memories. I cannot pinpoint the specific time I came to saving faith in Christ, but I do remember clearly understanding my need for a personal relationship with the Lord and for forgiveness of sin, when I was nine, one evening after family devotions in Sierra Leone. At 12 years old, at a missions conference in Illinois, I committed to serve the Lord wherever and in whatever way He led. In my senior year of high school I learned about the need for aviation in missions. The Lord provided in a wonderful way and allowed me to attend Moody Bible Institute in Chicago and graduate as a pilot and aircraft mechanic from Moody’s aviation program, then located in eastern Tennessee. During my time in Tennessee the Lord brought Angie and I together. Loving and serving the Lord together with her has been the greatest joy of my life. Angie's Testimony I grew up in a small town in Iowa with wonderful parents and one older sister. We were active in church, and I remember asking Jesus into my heart around age 10. I didn’t tell anyone, but read my Bible more and tried very hard to be good. In college, God used some foolish choices and a Christian roommate to show me that I was trying to follow God with one foot and keep my other foot in the world. He opened my eyes to my sin and need for forgiveness, and the grace He offered, not because of what I’d done, but because of what Christ had done for me. It was a turning point in my life, and it’s amazing to see that I have yet to stop learning more about the depths of His mercy and love. That next year, I began looking into teaching overseas (I was getting my elementary education degree). When I met Paul and found out he was studying to become a missionary pilot, I was fascinated – with the man and with missions! – and worked to find out more about what he was wanting to do. It was easy for me to join him in pursuing missions as our life work, and it has been a privilege to use the gifts and interests He’s given us to help people know the truth of salvation through faith in Jesus Christ.

Catechism Study Anchored in Christ Introduction: The word "catechism" comes from the Greek word κατηχέω (katēcheō), which means "to instruct" or "to teach." Throughout church history, catechisms have been written to instruct new believers in the faith so they can understand what a church believes on major issues. Ultimately, the purpose is to ensure new believers (of all ages) will be able to articulate the faith they believe. What to expect: A typical catechism includes a list of questions and answers. The catechism user is expected to memorize the question and answer. The hope is not to cover every possible element of each doctrine, but that in each question a foundation of sound doctrine can be laid to prepare the believer for maturity. Catechisms can be done by an individual memorizing the questions and answers themselves, or by an instructor (often a parent, pastor, or teacher) asking the question, and the student providing the expected answer.
