Hey, Hey, Hey!
Prayer is important. Enough said.
GIVE THANKS!
~ I am definitely feeling the affect of your prayers with the relationship with the students. I think God is really blessing community group and small group times. I think the small group time on the weekends with the middle school boys has especially been good. It seems as though we have been able to stay a lot more focused during that time. Yeah God!
~ I think we have some really awesome volunteer leaders in the Youth Ministry program. We just had our monthly gathering at my house and they all had some really good ideas and feedback as we discussed the ministry. I couldn’t as for a better bunch of people to do ministry with.
~ For the fun! I have been having a lot of fun lately during the weekends. I wouldn’t say it is anything specific, so I will give the credit to God.
GOD WE ASK…
…Upcoming conferences. We have our yearly Oasis conference coming up March 24-26 in Columbus. It is gonna be awesome, but there are some details that need God involved in. We initially were just going to take Middle Schoolers, but now we might take High Schoolers as well. I won’t get into the specifics, but I would like wisdom in figuring this out. We also want to be praying specifically for kids to go. It is a great time for kids to be challenged and to connect with other teens.
…Some help with admin. I am going to be talking to a few individuals about volunteering to do a few hours of administrative stuff each week for the Youth Ministry. This will really free up some time for me to work on other stuff that is needed to grow the ministry. I need prayer for ironing out the little systems so someone can take this over and that we get some people that can deal with me. :)
…Summer Missions. We just had an information meeting regarding the summer missions opportunities we have going on for High School. The London trip has been awesome for the students that have gone. This year there is also the opportunity to go to Guatemala. The deposits are due at the beginning of March so we want to pray for students to get signed up. Let me also give a shout out to James and Heather or do a tremendously, awesome job with this. Seriously. The training and everything that they due with the students rules!
People. Your prayers matter. Thank you.
