And now, brothers, we want you to know about the grace that God has given the Macedonian churches. Out of the most severe trial, their overflowing joy and their extreme poverty welled up in rich generosity. For I testify that they gave as much as they were able, and even beyond their ability. Entirely on their own, they urgently pleaded with us for the privilege of sharing in this service to the saints. 2 Corinthians 8:1-4
Taking inspiration from their first century heroes, the teenagers of the Northwest Region of the Boston Church of Christ set out to sacrifice like never before for the IMS Missions Contribution this year. While many of their peers complain about what they don’t have, these teens “pleaded with us for the privilege of sharing in this service to the saints” of Europe and New England. In 2007 the ministry had a goal of $2007. They rejoiced as they met their goal by giving $2013.
Nearly 18 months ago, the church in Kiev, Ukraine began to implement youth and family ministry. The number of teenage disciples has grown from 11 to 43 disciples during that span of time.
Who says teens cannot contribute financially to evangelize the world? The Boston Church of Christ Teen Ministry gave $7000 to special missions this year.

(Acts 16:32-33) This spring, two Tallahassee teens and their parents all made the decision to become Christians, together as a family.
“The girls have been after us on and off for some time to do this” said John Sackreiter.“
