The Youth Evangelism Project (Y.E.P!) kicked off its 2024 summer of serving the community while spreading the gospel on Sunday, June 23, 2024, at Dixie Hills Baptist Church in Bolivar. This is the twelfth year the project has been active in Hardeman County.

More than 70 students from four area churches, Dixie Hills Baptist Church, Hornsby Baptist Church, Parrans Chapel Baptist Church, and Porters Creek Baptist Church, signed up to serve the Hardeman County community completing projects that include trash clean up, washing cars, evangelism, community house washing, senior care, and more.

“I’m most excited for these youth to experience how God can use service to change people’s lives and get to watch God work in their own lives,” said Nick Jackson, a youth leader at Dixie Hills Baptist Church, who has worked with YEP over the past three years. “The worship services are what we all look forward to the most because it’s loud in your face worship that we all love.”

Y.E.P! has allowed students to grow in their faith during the worship time, be working servants of God through community service, and share the love of Christ while witnessing to the people they serve.

Be on the lookout for Y.E.P! participants throughout the county as they serve people in the community through Wednesday, June 26, 2024.
