We run the Young America van every Wednesday night to pick up all the Y A teenagers for our youth service. This week we joined the main service for the first night of our Global Outreach Conference. The service was very good, but I could tell that most of the teens were pretty bored. I was praying in the service that something would stand out to them and that it would be profitable if not pleasant:)
At the end of his sermon Bro. Tom Lancaster (Missionary Pastor to military families in Germany) told of how his dad was a drunk and his mom committed suicide. He told how God saved him and had blessed him with a wonderful wife, children, and grandkids. I believe the Holy Spirit was whispering in every ear, "I have wonderful plans for your life... Trust me and you will never regret it... I saved him from a messed up, broken home and I can do the same for you... you don't have to be tied down by your past... your future is as bright as the promises of God!"
Help me pray that God will continue to use us to shine His light in the darkest of places. I know God sent us here to rescue those who will hear and believe. If they could only taste and see how good he is... they would never settle for anything short of his will for their lives.
