Talents for Christ season is here. Even now several MARBC teens are joining with others across the county in preparing for the 2009 Talents for Christ competition.

We thank God for our MARBC Talents for Christ coordinator, Pastor Ken Pyne (Evangel Baptist Church, Taylor).  Ken has prepared a Talents for Christ packet, available here for download.  This packet includes detailed information regarding TFC participation, registration forms, etc.  Please download this material, personally promote TFC, and pass this information along to those who will be involved in leading and participating in TFC.

Pastors and ministry leaders are strongly encouraged to encourage your young people to participate.  The preparations themselves help develop godly discipline and character.  The results of this preparation allow our youth to minister in meaningful ways in several settings.  With the opportunities for scholarships from participating colleges in the Scholarship Division and scholarships for participating MARBC camps in the Open Division, there are also practical benefits for TFC participation.  Award details are included in the downloadable packet.

MARBC Talents for Christ 2008:

The 2008 MARBC Talents for Christ and Talents Plus competition was held on Saturday, April 19, 2008. The event was hosted at South Baptist Church in Flint, Michigan. Students participated in several scholarship and open categories. Following the competition, an awards ceremony was held in the church worship center and featured presentations from several participants. Awards were given to 19 participants in a variety of categories. God blessed the event as several young people from the MARBC ministered. We extend our special thanks to MARBC TFC co-ordinator Ken Pyne for his wonderful ministry in leading this important ministry. Pray for those who will now participate in the National Talents for Christ in Cedar Rapids, Iowa, on June 25-26.
