Two Wednesday nights in the last month, we have had teens asking how to be saved. An evening when I was sick and one of our volunteers was leading Depth Charge, a young lady put her trust in Christ. A couple of weeks later a young man asked how to be saved. There is nothing like being able to share with another human being how they can spend eternity with Jesus forever! God is amazing.
In our high school campus life we have been discussing relationships, which is a popular subject. The last couple of weeks we have shown the movie “Fireproof” in order to facilitate discussions. It seems like a revelation when teens understand the big lie of the media and entertainment. This movie was produced and distributed for Godly purposes. Others are just trying to get their money. It was neat to see their reaction when they realized this fact. Also, it seemed as though the content of the movie really set in and demonstrated the difference God can make in a relationship. Please pray that teens will truly consider these fundamental values when choosing a mate.
Our biggest event of the year in Bushnell is our soup supper. This year was our 10th annual Souper Duper Soup Supper. Over 25 teens came out to serve soup and drinks to area supporters of Youth for Christ on March 6. Twenty of them signed up to do labor in exchange for help with their trip and event money. (i.e. Dare 2 Share) We had quite a few new people attend this year and our best support to date. We give thanks to the Lord for his protection and provision for this ministry in Bushnell the past 10 years.
Finally, we have a transition in our lives ahead of us the next few months. We have purchased a property north east of Bushnell, where we plan to move this summer. There is much to be done in the mean time. The property is a way for us to save some money over time and something that we have been thinking about doing for a couple of years. We are excited about the change of venue and if anyone has any time to help we would not turn it down. We are so thankful for the place we now live and know it will be a blessing to a family in the future.
May God continue his work and be glorified in all we do.
Please Pray for:
Dare 2 Share coming up at the end of the month.
