Where can I begin? First of all, I want to thank Nick Goins for giving me an opportunity to come and be a part of their outreach to their youth. I’m always very honored to get to come and be a part of anything that we can do to send the word of Christ to the youth of today.
I’m not exactly sure if any of the people that are members of the church will be reading this anytime soon, but I feel like writing this for anyone that is needing some encouragement in the fight for youth outreach.
When I was speaking and sharing the testimony that God has done for me, I’m sure there might have been some at the time that could have cared less about what I was trying to say. I’m sure that we have been standing for God many times and felt like that we were not making a difference. As I continued, I could begin to see how the spirit was beginning to work on those around me. I began to see the conviction working on their faces, even in their eyes. It was such a sweet sight to see how God was working in the youth there. If I could say anything, I would say to that church (and any church) that kids are “right there”, ready for Jesus Christ to be a part of their life!
We always have to remember that we have to keep going forward as the leaders that surround them. We have to be willing to hear a million “nos” so we can get to that one “yes” for Christ! To make a long story short, one (a youth) came on this night and asked Christ into their life to be saved! An adult came to simply pray for help in their life. It just goes to show that if you keep working for God, that he will perform the work in their lives!
It was a wonderful experience, and we hope to come back and be with the church sometime soon!
