WMY INC Community Outreach
on October 30
Rather than Trick or Treat this year Dig Deeper Bible School students decided to treat their neighborhoods by going door-to-door and inviting people to local alternative Halloween church events in the community. The students also passed out the Action Bible to those residences that had small children. This was a wonderful evangelistic event organized by the students, a demonstration of their passion in witnessing for Jesus.
WMY INC Impacting Its Youth Community with Programs That Glorify Our Savior Jesus Christ!
 
The AYM/WMY Dig Deeper Bible School (DDB School) teaches young people the truth found in the Bible. The school provides 64 classes over a 64-week period and currently has approximately 15 students enrolled. The school has been expanding its student base and is completing its 2022, 16-week, 3rd semester. Semester 202 continues the focus on understanding the Bible and its relevance and credibility in today’s world and applying hermeneutics and apologetics to the historicity of the Bible stories.


If you live in the White Mountain communities and would like to have your child attend the Dig Deeper Bible School, please contact Dan Parcell at (928) 892-2157, our WMY INC coordinator.

Notes from AYM/CEO Gordy Lange:

On October 16 the AYM Board of Directors met in North Phoenix for its 3rd Quarter Board meeting. The encouraging note from this meeting was that the Board approved the formation of a Study Committee to assess the feasibility of sponsoring 2-day Apologetic conferences going forward and, in particular, hosting one in the spring or fall of 2023 in the Show Low/Pinetop area. With the help of White Mountain Youth INC, which has been having 1-day conferences for the past 2 years, the Committee is scheduled to present their findings at the AYM/BOD Annual Meeting in January.
In particular, the Committee is looking at World View Academy's Christianity and Culture Conference format which includes their faculty speakers and resources.

We are so thankful to see how the Lord is using the AYM Fellowship-Knowledge-Go programs.

Our Fellowship Program is a great opportunity for Youth Groups in a community to come together to expand individual Christian friendships.

The Knowledge Programs include:
-The Student Leadership Program, a 3-Year Commitment.
-The Dig Deeper Bible School, a 2-year, 4 semester in-depth study, which is supported by our Community Youth Groups.
-A one-week World Vision Academy Summer Camp.

The Go Programs include:
-A 6- 8 week mission trip with Teen Missions International, and
-A 3–9-month Internship/Residency Program.

GO! Therefore, go and make disciples of all the nations…         Matthew 28:18-20 
AYM’S SCHOLARSHIP PROGRAM is available to qualified students. Check our website for details.
