A changed life: Gingi's story 
 
"I never felt good enough to even sit through a church service," says Gingi Gautier when she tells us this week of the new life that she found in Christ when she was in her twenties. A seasoned and successful attorney, Gingi's story is not uncommon; it's just one that people in her position don't often tell.  
 
Read Gingi's story at FirstBaptistJackson.org.

A changed life: The Kennons' story

Less than a year ago the Kennons lives were changed forever when they lost Diane Kennon to cancer.  On Easter Sunday you'll hear an amazing testimony of faith and assurance as Dale and Riley share their story.
A changed life: Destini's story 
 
Destini Herron got plugged into the summer program at Mission First several years ago when her mother asked a friend about summer activities. Destini wasn't looking for a basketball camp, but it was part of the program at Mission First, and she lined up with the other students. Under Coach Willis Bridges, basketball is more about team building than game tactics; everyone plays together, with novices side-by-side to all-star players on the same court and everyone cheering and supporting each other.
 
Destini says those skills she learned taught her to never give up, and have stayed with her as she prepares for a career in biomedical engineering - a field she discovered as an intern at NASA.
