Last week (as best as I can remember it)

Tuesday: Sherwood Forest, Arbor Mill, and Dalton RYDC

Psalms 34:11 Come, ye children, hearken unto me: I will teach you the fear of the LORD.

The greatest thing we can ever teach these kids is that JESUS IS ALIVE!!! We watched the Easter video this week and the kids loved it. Last week I asked them what Easter was all about and most of them had no idea, this week when we asked them questions they knew the answers. It is so easy for them to believe that Jesus rose from the grave and that he is coming back one day. The faith of a child is always inspiring to me. True faith will result in following. But the Apostle Paul said, " How then shall they call on him in whom they have not believed? and how shall they believe in him of whom they have not heard? and how shall they hear without a preacher? Romans 10:14 Sharing the Gospel with these kids is the most important thing we could ever do. Sometimes it feels like we're not making much of a difference, but we are planting the seeds, and God will make them grow!
Wednesday:
I had 10 pre-teens and teenagers on the van Wed. night. We had an excellent service and THE KIDS ACTUALLY LISTENED THIS TIME!!! I'm finally getting the message across that God's house is a special place that should be respected and reverenced. We stopped for pizza after the service and had a blast.



Thursday: Hickory Grove

We had the tutoring session and the Bible study at Hickory Grove. Rob, J C , and Jolee did a great job helping the kids with their school work, then Brittney and Brianna Seagroves showed up to help with the Bible study. THANK YOU ALL SO MUCH!!! We have the best helpers ever!





Friday and Saturday;

Young America put on the very first PURE POWER WEEKEND for The Bridge Student Ministries. We had around 16 teenage boys and helpers. We focused on Purity and Integrity all weekend. We stayed up all night Friday playing football, wiffle ball, X-box, PS2, and even wrestled a few steers. (NO JOKE) We all had a lot of fun, but more importantly we saw many of the boys make decisions and commitments to live clean in this dirty world. Help us pray that God will give them the strength as they walk with HIM!

Sunday:

Sunday morning I presented Young America to The Young Married Sunday School Class at Temple Baptist. I am so thankful for the friends we have made at Temple. We were very encouraged and had some people interested in volunteering.

Sunday night my family and I had the pleasure of sharing the ministry with our friends at Pleasant Valley. I sang, presented the ministry, and preached. Pray for this church as they are seeking a pastor. They gave a very generous gift to help the kids Young America is reaching. God will bless their kindness.
