Something BIG about to happen….
I was reading on someone’s blog recently (can’t remember who it was) and they had a quote that to paraphrase said: “You can tell what God is about to build by the machinery he is bringing in. If he is bringing in heavy duty equipment, he is about to build something big.” That is a BAD misquote of the original but you get the point.
Anyway, I don’t know what God has in store with our students but He is bringing in some HEAVY DUTY equipment. We currently have (to my knowledge, there could be more) 5 people who have been in full-time Student ministry. Several of them have overseen VERY large youth ministries. Along with those people coming in, Adam is hitting his stride on Sunday nights and they are having some really good at The Warehouse. It seems like God is up to something big in that area.
There is a HUGE need for someone doing something with the youth of our city and it appears God might be putting us in position to finally have a youth ministry that matches what we are doing in the rest of the church.
Starting next week we will be holding a once a month youth service during the 10:30 a.m. service in one of the theaters we currently don’t use. We will still have The Project on Sunday nights at the warehouse but it will be more of a hang out and small group time. Along with all of that, we are taking a group of students to Sidekick Students Winter Retreat. This will be the week after Christmas during winter break and I can promise it will be a blast. I’m teaching at this one so that should be interesting. :) Sign-up for this in the lobby on Sunday!!!!!!!
I’m excited that God is moving in the area of our Students!!!
If you have a student that is in middle school or high school then I want to encourage you get them involved in what is happening in this area! They need to be around kids their age and learning that serving God can be an awesome thing!!!
