Since 1979 the BYF "Teens" of Olive Missionary Baptist Church, 6286 Little Seven Mile Road, have been holding a yearly "Rock-a-thon." This tradition began as a result of listening to a Gideon speaker who told of the need for Bibles or Testaments for teens overseas. That first year, under the leadership of David and Monna Smith, the "Teens" raised over $1,500.00 to be used by the Gideons for purchasing Bibles

Teens present money to Gideons for purchase of Bibles/Testaments and/or Testaments. During this year's Rock-athon, a total of $1,722.00 was collected and presented to Gideon member, Aaron Smith. With this amount of money, 2,154 New Testaments can be purchased. According to a representative of the Gideons, this is the only known group to hold such an event. Russ Browning is the current youth pastor.
