RUSTON/LAFAYETTE – At next month’s PreTeen Invasion, Louisiana Baptist youth, fourth through sixth graders, are in for double the fun.
Why?
Participants will have the choice between two locations – Temple Baptist Church in Ruston on Aug. 20 or First Baptist Church in Lafayette on Aug. 27 – for this age group’s annual evangelism conference.
PreTeen Invasion will take place at two separate locations on two separate dates, and it will offer games, interactive activities, worship, Gospel opportunities, and just a great time for the children involved.
“PreTeen Invasion has become the go-to event to celebrate back to school,” said Dave Anderson, Children Ministry Strategist for the Louisiana Baptist Convention. “Statistics show that these years are prime for young people to make a life-long commitment to Christ. PreTeen Invasion presents a wonderful opportunity for the kids.”
The event will feature encouraging messages by Eric Thomas, pastor of First Baptist Church in Norfolk, Va., music by the worship team from Cypress Baptist Church in Benton and Louisiana College’s interactive games team.
Free inflatables and other games will also be on hand to entertain the students during lunchtime.
The theme for this year’s PreTeen Invasion is “Are U In,” based on 2 Corinthians 5:17.
Registration for PreTeen Invasion begins at 8 a.m., with the event starting at 9 a.m. and ending at 3:30 p.m. Registration is $35/person. Info and a registration form is at http://louisianabaptists.org/pti.
