Blessings

God continues to bless our youth group with a consistent 48 teens. For months now, we have had at least 2 first time visitors each week, and they have come back on a regular basis. I brought my camera last night and decided to take some pictures of the activity. Please pray with us as we are sure of unsaved youth in our group.





We start off the evening with some games. This was the calm before the storm - the clothespin war. The person with the fewest clothespins attached to them wins. It was a little crazy.






Poor Robert volunteered to unknowingly be one of two people that were targets for the clothespins.




Ben's brother, Tom, the other volunteer is pretty much running for his life.





If you look close, you can see Tom being clothes pinned to death by our mob.




This is Brittany. Her family has trusted Christ within the year I believe, and I will be starting discipleship with her next week.






These two girls, Sarah(Green) and Kishon (right next to Sarah) are not saved. They are asking questions and we hope and pray for their salvation.




This is Melissa, a new visitor as of last night filling out an information card.




Savanna and Brooke have been coming out for a few weeks, now. We are unsure of where they are spiritually.




After games and announcements we have a time of worship. It's hard to believe that only 8 months ago we had about 15 regulars. We don't know the determining factor as to why they keep coming and bringing their friends, but we praise God for it.




Every Wednesday evening before the lesson time, Ben opens up the floor for a Q&A time. Anything relating to the Bible is fair game. Last night there were so many questions about Heaven that the questions then moved to the rapture, and instead of giving his intended lesson, Ben gave a clear and detailed presentation of the gospel. The teens were completely attentive.

No decisions were made that we know of, but God made it clear what He wanted done last night and His Word will never return void. I look forward to seeing what will come of the seeds that are being planted.

Please pray with us for our teens.
