God is Amazing!

There have been a few truly monumental moments in my ministry life. I have to say that this week is right up there at the top. I don't have any pictures to share tonight, but I do want to take a moment to share how God is working in the group. I can't wait for this to be taken to the homes. To school. Back to church.

I wish there was the opportunity for you to be able to listen in on all that is shared in the groups. I can't truly say this enough, there will be students returning who you may not even recognize any more! I think this is going to be a great propulsion to a Christ-centered, self-less ministry.

The most important question you can ask if you're reading this is, "How can I be a part?" What is it that you can do to encourage these students? To hold them accountable? To allow yourself to be spiritually challenged by them? All of this has happened this week. It's such a blessing.

During our church group time tonight, we took time to write encouraging things for each other. Compliments and spiritual challenges. I hope that this will be an inspiration to your students.

Lastly, I would challenge you to bring these spiritual moments into your home. Open up the Word of God with your students and seek the truth together.

Thanks for your prayers. God is using them!

By the way, EVERY student shared tonight, except one. That was a big step for some of them. Yay for Caylee, Lindsay, Taylor, Collin, Clayton, Kristen and Joe! And Tracy, Kendyl promised she'd go tomorrow night :)

  1. It sounds like God is doing wonderful things! Even more exciting is that God is answering the prayers of those at camp and those of us at home!!! I also pray that this will be an exciting thing for our church as a whole, especially as we read Don't Waste Your Life this summer. Enjoy the last few hours of camp!!!
