THE ROOP YOUTH MISSION OFFERING
at Springforth
Background: On October 25th, 1999 Joel (17) and Daniel
(15) Roop were tragically killed in a car accident less than 1 km from Atlantic
Baptist University where the High School track for Springforth is held annually.
Joel and Daniel were active in the youth ministry of Lewisville Baptist Church
in Moncton and in the youth group at L’Eglise Baptiste Francaise de Moncton, a
youth group they helped to start. They were involved in many youth mission
projects across Canada.
Six months before they died, students who
attended Springforth contributed over $1000 to assist in sending their family to
France to engage in a short term mission project with Canadian Baptist
Volunteers.
In their memory, and to honour the cause of mission which
was their passion, an offering will be taken at High School Springforth to
further the cause of Christ by providing support for a High School student or
recent grad who will serve in an overseas summer or short term mission project.
Who is eligible? Any active member of a Baptist youth group in
Atlantic Canada.
How many recipients will there be each year?
Normally one.
What is expected of the recipient? The person who
is chosen to be the recipient of the offering will be expected to share in 3-4
minutes the nature of their summer ministry at Springforth and then, after
coming home, write a brief report for posting on the Springforth web site
(www.baptist-atlantic.ca/youth).
Who decides who is the recipient for
the offering? A small committee chaired by the Convention’s Director of
Youth Ministry.
Who will receive priority? Anyone is welcome to
apply, but those who are planning to serve with Canadian Baptist Volunteers will
receive first consideration.
How can I apply? Write a one-page
letter describing the project you will be involved in and why you want to take
part in this project and send it to Rev. Bruce Fawcett, Director of Youth
Ministries, Box 6004 Moncton NB E1C 9L7.
What is the deadline to
apply? Letters of application must be postmarked by April 10th.
Who do I contact if I have questions? Bruce Fawcett at bfawcett@abu.nb.ca
