I apologize for yet another delayed post.
I'm just coming off of a spiritual high.
These past few days, I've been blessed to spend some time with an incredible youth group of God-loving teenagers called Identity, based out near Palm Springs, CA. For those that know anything about HSE, this program is pretty much just like that.
There were 20 teenagers: Servants, Bold, Eager to bless, Prayer Warriors... who came out to give a hand with us. The Lord used this group to speak to the lives of our neighbors, through a drama skit 'The SIN chair', through some powerful testimonies, and a full night of worship music teamed up with my buddy Jason. The sound of 2 acoustic guitars and 2 sweet voices leading, with others singing along was amazing. I know our neighbors enjoyed it.
Before we served dinner, an invitation was given to accept Jesus... 3 or 4 people embraced that free gift and became part of our Eternal Family in Christ Jesus. Bibles were given out to those that wanted them.
Our weekly volunteer team has grown as well. To see others catch the vision and following the calling the Lord has put on their hearts to come participate with us, is touching. The men we serve, have become regulars at helping with the unloading and setting up. All the extra help and ministering going on was nothing else than the work of our Good Lord. I tell ya, it's no coincidence that all those young soldiers came the same week that we had another record breaking attendance... and of course, The Lord multiplied the food enough so that not 1 person went away hungry.
All in all, it was both encouraging & refreshing to see such love & compassion for the lost from the next generation. Those kids wear their full Armor of God, and they wear it proudly. I had the honor of joining them on other occasions while they were in town, and as we said our good-byes, I kept hearing the Jars of Clay song 'Faith like a child' playing in my head.
