4G Girls Retreat 2012

We are excited to have Mandy Young as one of our speakers for the 4G Girls Retreat 2012.

"What happened to your leg?" is a question that Mandy Young is asked everyday. But there is no easy answer. She has lived a life that most would not choose to live. From staying months at a time in hospitals to 27+ years of research, to being diagnosed as the only person in the world that has her genetic defect. And while her life has been a roller coaster ride of ups and downs, she wouldn't change a single day.

"Mandy's personality and smile are contagious, shining like a bright start on a dark night. Her story, mixed with candor and humor inspires each of us to see how God can use our worst circumstances for His glory. She gives hope to a generation consumed with materialism, perfection and body image, making her a role model to others. Mandy is one of a kind and I'm blessed to call her friend." - Candace Cameron Bure (Actress, author, speaker)

Our 4G Girls Retreat is scheduled for March 9-10, 2012. Other special guests include Awaken, Monica Rose and more....

More than 600 commitments to Christ made during 2011 summer camps

Churches from fourteen states attended GO TELL's three Student and two Kids Camps this past summer resulting in more than 600 commitments to Christ including over 100 students surrendering to the ministry. The following are some of the comments sharing the impact GO TELL had on their students:

"I can feel the Lord's presence at camp...." - Geoffrey Hines

"My daughter attended camp with our church this summer and returned with peace in her heart." - Starlite Black

"I am a youth leader that went to GO TELL camp in Toccoa. I knew that I needed revival in my own life and I was challenged and convicted in my walk with the Lord." - Anita Martin

"This was the most amazing week of my life. The first night I watched my younger brother accept Christ. I've been the only person in my family to go to church, so to see him come to Christ was amazing" - Brittney Cowart

"We went to camp this year with 11 students and 8 were baptized this morning." -Lindsay Wilson

"My daughter had a wonderful time at camp. I have seen a really big change in her. To find out her and many more youth cried for the LOST which I was one of until she came home touched my heart so deep. This Sunday I will be baptized. This camp I have never been to; however, it had an impact on her that followed all the way home to me and her Daddy. I just want all of you to know that I thank all of you so much for touching my family the way you have. I will forever be thankful for this blessing." - Dannette Nitschke

21 GO TELL Missions team members took the Gospel to Costa Rica

Twenty-one GO TELL Missions team members took the Gospel to Costa Rica the week of July 18-25. Many were led to Christ through the street evangelism, feeding the poor, ministering to orphans and preaching in a local church. Thank you for your prayers and financial support in helping us fulfill the Great Commission in this third world country.

Plan now to join us on GO TELL's missions trip to Costa Rica next July 2012. It will change your life!
