Be His Witness...of what you've seen and heard

By the Spirit…While most of the adults we work with have not finished high school we equip and empower them to make huge Kingdom impacts.  God is moving here.  We recently shared what Acts 22:15 says, “You will be his witness to all people of what you have seen and heard.” As a result there has been an increase in prayer for the lost and visitors to our church.  They have seen and heard great things and now want to share this joy with their family and friends. 

I (Chad) was recently meeting with one of our youth and he began to share how he wasn’t sure how to hear God’s voice.  I shared my experience and some promises from the Bible and then we dove into a powerful time of worship and prayer.  God met him there and began to speak to him.  It was powerful to see him moved to compassion for his classmates - and one classmate in particular that is really struggling right now.  Because of this encounter with Jesus he has a new sense of vision and purpose and is excited to share with his classmates about his faith and relationship with Jesus.

“It is important to disciple a life, not teach a lesson,” says leadership expert P. Drucker. Part of empowering and releasing someone into ministry is discerning where they are and where they are suppose to go and giving them what they need to get there.  What a privilege we have to be able to come alongside so many people – young and old and from all sorts of backgrounds – and love them and nurture them so that they can realize a potential that neither they nor those around them thought was possible.  Thank you for helping make this all possible with your prayers and financial support. 

As we disciple people in the city there is an advancement and deepening of faith moving them from believing in God enough to benefit from His great blessings to a place of contributing and serving.  Now we ask that you would pray with us that we would see an even greater commitment – one of being given completely and sacrificially to Jesus and His Good News.  We ask for your prayers as we continually dream with God where and when the next church plant will be launched.  We are dedicating this year to equip and empower leaders that can take greater responsibility in the church and to help lead with this endeavor to plant new churches.

Excited we are on the same team serving the same mighty God!
