4G Students held a local youth mission work trip during Spring break. Middle school students from Brackettville took the opportunity to express God’s love and their appreciation for the community through a service project. Bible teaching, recreation, and an exciting tour of the exotic game was provided on a local ranch. They began their service project by clearing brush on the fence-line along the south side of Highway 90, as you enter Brackettville from Del Rio. Keith Clift

In February, Brother YJ, was invited to put on a Freedom Conference in Mescalero, NM. Our team was able to stay in a lodge owned by members of First Baptist Ruidoso. There were 20 people who attended on the first evening in the tiny building. Many decisions were made before and after the service. The Freedom Conference is designed to help people overcome life issues through God’s Word - it is a very powerful event. #Home #Events #Ministry
