What a great start to our day! This morning we met at 7:00 AM at our local high school to pray with students. I was amazed at what I saw. There were five students praying when we arrived and then the numbers kept growing and growing. I heard young people turn to God and pray boldly for their fellow classmates, teachers, families, communities and our nation. They even prayed for God's glory to fill all nations. I realized that these young people are learning to lead for Christ in their school community. What a great learning experience for our foreign exchange student from China! Many of the high school students thanked God for the freedom they have to worship Him freely and openly. These kids are transforming their families.
Thank you God for the boldness, courage and passion of the youth I saw today around the pole!
See you at the pole was inspirational for us here as well. I drove by our middle school which is on a major street and was so encouraged to see so many youth boldly praying. I am sure many of the rush hour drivers wondered what was going on at the school with so many students so early in the morning. We prayed that every student and parent and teacher and bus driver arriving at school that morning would see the students praying and that the Holy Spirit would do a work in each of these people's lives.
ReplyDeleteThe Freedom to worship is truly a gift.
James, Rachel, and I attended the Do Hard Things conference last Saturday. The teen speakers challenged the youth to raise the bar of expectations and to do hard things for God. We highly recommend their book to all!
