SUPPORT MCKENA YOUNG

Summer Missionary with the IMB (International Mission Board)
Hey friends!

I’m beyond excited to share that I’ll be spending this summer in the South Pacific Rim with the IMB! This journey is a big step of faith, and I’m trusting in God’s provision every step of the way—including financially.

I need to raise $5,000, and if you feel led to give and be part of what God is doing in the South Pacific Rim, I would be so incredibly grateful! I can accept cash, check, or Venmo (@McKena_Young).

Even if you’re not able to give financially, I’d love your support through prayer—for me, my team, and the amazing people we’ll have the chance to meet and share with.

Thank you so much for being part of this journey with me! ❤️

Praise Report: FBC Sparta Mission Team – Mobile Dental Clinic

What an incredible weekend of ministry! Our mission team from FBC Sparta just returned from hosting a free mobile dental clinic, and it was the busiest one we’ve ever had in this area. Over the course of Saturday and Sunday, we were able to serve 55 patients, providing care for 170 teeth—all at no cost to those in need.

But beyond the dental work, this weekend was about sharing the love and hope of Jesus. Many seeds were planted as we engaged in wonderful gospel conversations. Two individuals came very close to accepting Christ but weren’t quite ready. We trust that God is still working in their hearts, and we will continue to pray for them!

The experience was deeply renewing for our team, reminding us why we do this work—not just to meet physical needs, but to bring the good news of Jesus to those we serve. Thank you for your prayers and support! God is moving, and we are honored to be a part of His work.

To Him be the glory!
