M-JAM to youth: Have Christ-filled joy

April 20, 2023

By Baptist Message staff

WOODWORTH, La. (LBM) – Nearly 400 students, first-sixth grades, will learn how to have joy in Christ during the upcoming Louisiana Baptist Missions Jamboree. Known as M-JAM, the event will take place May 6 at Tall Timbers Baptist Conference Center in Woodworth.

The “joyful in hope” theme for M-JAM is based on Romans 12:12.

“M-JAM will be a fun, high energy day filled with mission education opportunities that your church will not want to miss,” Louisiana Baptist Children and Youth Mission Education Strategist Erin Jones told the Baptist Message. “We will learn how to be joyful in hope as we learn to live on mission for God. Don’t wait to register. We can’t wait to see you there.”

Illusionist David Laflin will be the main speaker. According to his website, davidandteesha.com, Laflin and his wife, Teesha, have been featured at the NCAA Final Four, Fortune 500 company events and conferences and conventions all over the world.

Check-in will take place from 9:00-9:45 a.m., and the conference will run from 10 a.m.—2:30 p.m., including breakout sessions. The cost to attend M- JAM is $40, which includes a snack and lunch. T-shirts are $15. Register via louisianabaptists.org/event/2023-m-jam/; or call 1.800.622.6549 or 318.448.3402. Registration deadline is April 21.
