Jayden Gillespie, one of our Student Leaders has just won the United Way of Southern Mississippi's Volunteer Presidential Award. On Monday, April 23 Jayden and Pastor Brad attended the award banquet to celebrate Jayden and his wonderful volunteer work with Youth for Christ.
We are very proud of Jayden who was honored as our Volunteer of the Year at our most recent fall banquet which is given to a volunteer that has put their heart into reaching young people on the Gulf Coast for Christ. For two years, he has volunteered weekly, at St. Martin Middle School Campus Life and our D’Iberville Xtreme Teen Center. During this school year he has led our St. Martin Bible study. He has also volunteered at 2 water park lock-ins, 3 fall banquets, 2 Surge hockey nights, 2 Christmas wrapping fundraisers, 2 car washes and our Gulf Coast Street Fest. In addition, Jayden helped build a “foam pit” at the D’Iberville Xtreme, worked at 2 soup kitchen events, and began creating our School of Ministry manual. We are very proud and quite happy that Jayden is a volunteer for this ministry. Thanks Jayden.
