SPRING MINISTRY TEAM ’08

Grace Baptist Church - Panama City, FL – Mike Jones, Assistant Pastor
The ministry team concept was rather new to us.  We’ve been used to the music and drama ensemble teams from the various colleges over the years so this gave us a pause.  However, we were not disappointed.  We fit the team into our Wednesday night programs of Youth and Adult Bible Study and they slid seamlessly into our plans.  We designed our youth program to maximize interaction between the team and teens, and it worked wonderfully.  Our teens were drawn to each of the Northland students and continued to talk with them even after dismissal time.  The team leader did a great job both with the teens and adults.   Overall, this was a nice change to the formalized approach of music and drama programs and I would use the ministry team concept again. Thank you for sending a team south.  We’ve never had a Northland team at Grace to my knowledge and I want our people to be exposed to your spirit.

FALL MINISTRY TEAM ’07

Ankeny Baptist Church – David Strope, Pastor
I wanted to share my thanks to you in extending the invitation to have the Northland ministry team here. We certainly profited from their ministry. They represented Christ and Northland well…you would be proud of them! My wife and I had the opportunity to have three of the team in our home, and they were a delight.

SPRING MINISTRY TEAM ’07

Ogemaw Hills Christian School – LeAnne Gormong, Administrator
On behalf of the students and staff of Ogemaw Hills Christian School, I would like to express my appreciation to the ministry team from NBBC. They took charge of both of our chapels yesterday and represented your institution in an excellent manner. Even more importantly, they brought honor and glory to God. “They spent time with our students one-on-one and in classroom settings. They remembered the names of all those they met. They were eager to help and took the initiative to do so. Musically, their presentation was excellent. Their host families raved about the team members”

Grace Baptist Church – Wynne Kimbrough, Pastor
We want to thank you for allowing the ministry team to come to Grace in their tour. They were a blessing in both of our services. I really appreciated the heart and spirit of the team members. They represented Northland and the Lord in a Christ-honoring way. We were thrilled to have them. Bluelick Bible Church – Jim Neighbors, Pastor This is just a note to say thank you for the ministry team that came our way last week. They had an excellent spirit about them and provided a good program. Thank you for your service to the Lord.

Hampton Park Baptist Church – Jeremy McMorris, Assistant Pastor
Thank you so much for the ministry of your team. They ministered very capably in our Christian school chapel. Each of the team members represented Christ and Northland well. They went out of their way to minister to our teens during lunch and were very effective in their interaction I had the privilege of spending over an hour with the team “grilling” them about life at Northland. I was thrilled with the answers I received. Thank you for stressing the “life touching life” ministry in the way you do. It’s making an impact in your students and they’re excited about sharing this message with others.
