YOUTH REVIVAL
Our guest speaker will be Dr. Ray Young, President of Hyles-Anderson College in Crown Point, Indiana. The best way to describe Dr. Young is
that he is a man with a heart for God. If you have heard him preach, you realize what I mean. His close walk with God is obvious, and the Holy Spirit speaks through him in an unmistakable way.
Our first Youth Revival last spring was a supernatural meeting in many ways. Below are a couple of pictures from the meeting. We had fourteen churches come from five states and they packed out our building to capacity! It was a very exciting time. Dr. Young's preaching was outstanding! He preached with power and as I watched the teenagers during the preaching at the meeting, it seemed that every single one of them were paying attention to the preaching and they had a great spirit!
I can't wait to see how God is going to use the Youth Revival in 2012. I truly hope you will give it prayer and pencil it on your calendar and consider being a part of the meeting!
I pray God's richest blessings on you, your family, and your ministry.
For Christ's Sake,
Will Hepworth
Youth Pastor
I am excited to announce our second annual Youth Revival at Bow Baptist Church! It will be held on Saturday, May 19, 2012. The meeting will begin at 11:00 a.m. And conclude at 3:00 p.m. There will be energetic gospel singing, passionate preaching, and, of course, lunch will be served!
I am praying that you will consider this event in your youth ministry calendar as you make plans for the upcoming year.
The theme for our Youth Revival is "We Stand". The number one goal for this Youth Revival is to encourage young people to stand for Christ!

Dr. Ray Young was trained by his parents to be an honest and hard-working young man. Growing up in rural Louisiana, he enjoyed hunting, fishing, and the outdoor life. In 1970, as a fifteen-year-old boy, Brother Young rode a bus to church, was saved, baptized, called to preach, and preached his first sermon. As a young man he listened to preaching by men like Dr. Jack Hyles, Dr. Wally Beebe, and Dr. Jim Vineyard. In 1974 he came to Hyles-Anderson College and worked his way through college. Dr. Hyles described meeting Brother Young during his first year in college as, "a very mild-mannered, meek, and almost timid college student." In 1977 he was asked to join the staff of the First Baptist Church of Hammond and had the opportunity to learn firsthand from Dr. Hyles about the ministry. Dr. Young has stated that he simply teaches what great men have taught him.
This "bus kid" has served as an assistant pastor for 33 years, 32 of those years have been at the First Baptist Church of Hammond. For 26 years, Brother Young was bus director of the "B," "C," "D," and "G" bus ministries of First Baptist Church. These 150 routes that Brother Young oversaw would often have attendances exceeding 10,000.
For eleven years, as executive vice president, Dr. Young assisted Dr. Jack Hyles, founder of Hyles-Anderson College.
