Members of the Millennium World Outreach Youth Group will be competing in the 2004 National Fine Arts Festival in Daytona Beach, Florida this July.
We are currently in the process of raising funds to pay for this trip. The anticipated cost per person is $500. There are approximately 25 youth plus several chaperones going to participate in the competition and weeklong Youth Quest activities. In addition to a number of other fundraising efforts such as selling Pepsi products, holding car washes, bake sales, and benefit dinners, we are seeking donations from individuals and area businesses.
To make a donation, please call Mike Eversole at 276.637.3743.

About National Talent Quest:
The 2004 National Fine Arts Festival is part of the IPHC’s National Talent Quest program. The Millennium World Outreach Youth Group will be competing in two categories this year:
New Breed (our dance team) — Contemporary Interpretive Dance (group) category
Jessica Dix ‘ Classical Interpretive Dance (individual) category.
For more information about the National Fine Arts Festival, go to: http://www.iphc.org/cem/tquest.html
The primary focus of the National Talent Quest Ministry is to give our youth the opportunity to discover, develop and deploy their God-given talents and acquired skills for active ministry in fulfilling the Great Commission and thus glorifying God. This is a part of the renewed emphasis on spiritual gifts in our church. The secondary focus of the ministry is to provide a vehicle for the training of our youth in the following areas:
Discipline
To compete and win on local, district, conference, or national level requires discipline to practice, practice, practice; discipline to be on time; discipline to memorize; discipline to work hard and do your very best.
Sportsmanship
To compete against your friends requires the development of true sportsmanship: the ability to win with humility and charity, to lose with grace and dignity, and, if defeated, to rejoice with the winner and be glad for them.
Christian Values
Each competitor must present talent which is “Christian” in its content. It must contain a “God-honoring” message or theme. This requires time evaluating and understanding the significance of a presentation.
STRATEGIES:
Provide opportunities for participation and competition at the local, district, conference and national levels
Provide national guidelines for competition at all levels
Provide constructive evaluation that encourages continued development of talents and skills
Encourage local and conference leaders to utilize the talents and skills of our young people in fulfilling the Great Commission
