Dear Student and Parents,
Thank you for your ongoing prayers for Miss Amy. Amy is continuing to do well at Brooks Rehab Hospital, where she is still working hard on her walking and talking. The plan is for Amy to leave Brooks Hospital at the end of December, so please pray with us that Amy would continue to make great progress in her therapy, so that she is all ready when it's time for her to go home. Brendan is also be going down this week for Christmas, so pray too that this will be an encouraging time for them both.
 Also, you may have seen in our Fellowship News that we are doing a "Hey Amy" campaign. We are asking that you make a short video encouraging Amy and then, you can simply email your video to amy@fellowshipofwildwood.org. We will compile them all and send it through.
Thank you, and Blessings!

-- Invite a Friend and Register Now --
For those who are new or haven't heard, Disciple Now (DNOW) is a weekend retreat for students (6th - 12th). DNOW provides a unique environment for students to grow spiritually through worship, large & small group Bible study, service projects, along with engaging games and activities. Through all of the above, but especially in our large group sessions, students will be spiritually challenged and encouraged by our guest speaker and music team to grow in their walks with the Lord.
Our goal is simple: We are seeking to make disciples and grow disciples
Discipleship is what happens when a person surrenders everything to, and walks with, Christ. It is a journey that involves every aspect of life. The theme of DNOW 2022 is FEARLESS - thinking about how in Christ, we are not given a spirit of fear, but one of power, love and sound judgement. With Christ in us, by the power of the Spirit, we have been called to make an impact in the world for Christ and we can do that without fear, all because of Him! We are praying that God would create within each student a lifestyle of authentic discipleship that affects their everyday life! Would you also pray with us to that end?
Cost: only $75/person (max. $150 per family)
only $40 for 1st Time Guests/Friend of a Fellowship Student
Registration Deadline: January 14

DNOW Speaker:
Dan Elkins
Dan grew up in Atlanta & Tampa, knowing in high school that God was calling him into ministry. After attending the University of Florida to obtain a microbiology degree, Dan became convinced that God’s plan for his life was to be a youth pastor. Following a move to N.E. Florida, God opened the door for Dan to become the Middle School Pastor at the First Baptist Church of Jacksonville. After serving in that position for 16 years, the Lord moved Dan & his family to Fruit Cove Baptist Church to become the High School & College Pastor. Dan has a passion for teaching & leading students to grow in their love Jesus, each other & the lost. Dan is married to Marianne and they have with three kids (Katelyn- 15, Caroline-13 and Caleb-9). They love going out to eat, road trips & Disney World.
Pray that God would work mightily in and through Dan as he prepares to be with us.

Musical Worship led by:
The Meltons
We are excited to have the Meltons back with us again this year for DNOW 2022. For those who don't know them, the Meltons are a wonderfully talented family who love the Lord. By God's grace, they have been able to serve their local church (First Baptist Washington, MO) as a family in leading songs for worship over the last 12 years. John has also served FBC Washington as associate pastor for almost 20 years. John has been married to Lisa for over 30 years, and they have been blessed with six children, some of whom will be joining them at DNOW. Their heart is simply: Knowing the Spirit helps us in our weakness, we long to magnify the beauty, majesty and finished work of God by leading others to sing their hearts out to Him.
Pray that the Lord would bless and use them in great ways as they lead us in praise and worship this year.
