Relentless Student Ministries brings home 3rd in the Nation

The Smithville First Assembly of God Youth just recently attended the 2015 National Fine Arts Competitions held in Orlando Florida. They represented Tennessee in three categories including Large Human Video, Worship Dance Troupe, And Large Drama Ensemble. They came in 3rd out of 97 groups from around the world. Being one of the most active Youth groups in DeKalb County everyone around knows how they excel in Drama & Dance.
Relentless Student Ministries lead by Iain & Kassy Swisher & Josh Issac, started their journey in March when they competed at the Tennessee State Competitions held at Trevecca University located in Nashville. Relentless Students competed in 8 all original and self-choreographed categories taught by Josh Isaac & Kassy Swisher and came home with 7 winning state titles. The Titles included Large Human Video, Small Drama Ensemble, Large Drama Ensemble, Worship Dance Troupe, and Solo Worship Dance. The hardest decision was figuring out what they wanted to take to nationals.They couldn’t afford to take all 7. Relentless Students raised all their own money by having bake sales, yard sales, RADA, Donuts, Dinners, and Dinner Theaters. They left for their 9 day trip to Orlando on July 31st and was honored with top 3 out of 97 teams on Friday, August 7th at the 56th Assemblies of God General Council 2015 Fine Arts Celebration Ceremonies. DeKalb county should be proud of these teens who all represented our church, city, county, and state well. These students have chosen to use their talents to impact their schools and city in a positive way. Each student is very active in school activities as well. We have DeKalb Tiger Football Players, Cheerleaders, Mr. & Mrs. DCHS, and Tiger Basketball Players. These students strive to be that light in all that they do. It’s always great to see their hard work pay off. They embody the bible verse they wear on the shirts: Romans 12:2 “And be not conformed to this world: but be TRANSFORMED by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is good, and acceptable and perfect in the will of God.
