Banquet Update

The annual Teen Mission, USA, Banquet was held on October 15, 2009, at Gardenside Christian Church in Lexington, KY. We were blessed to have over 150 people in attendance.

The program featured inspirational music from the Messengers quartet along with a ministry update by TM, USA. Our program also involved honoring two great friends of Teen Mission’s ministry.

Wayne B Smith and Leonard Stone were both honored with our“Distinguished Servant” award.

Wayne, who served as minister at Southland Christian Church (Lexington, KY) for 40 years, has always been a great friend of Teen Mission. He is well-known for his humor and is often referred to as the "Bob Hope of the Ministry."

Leonard has been involved with many Mission Journeys since 1999. In late 2006, he officially joined the TM staff as the administrator of a new outreach ministry called Global Bible School.
Recently, he left us to pursue another ministry opportunity with White Fields Overseas Evangelism.

I'm happy to report an offering of nearly $7,000 was received at the banquet. Monies given before and after the event will take the offering total to nearly $8,500!

One of the reasons for the banquet is to say THANKS to the many supporters of Teen Mission, USA, who help make this mission/ministry possible. Many of you have kept this ministry going over the years through your prayers, financial support and volunteer help. May God bless you!

In Him,
Greg Herriford (Teen Mission, USA)
