WOW!
What a couple of days in VBS with the youth group. We have had about 50 different teenagers and it has been phenomenal. The first question out of our mouth was "We are going to talk about Jesus - Do you guys know Jesus?" We had four young ladies, all around 16 to 17 say, "We know who he is, but he is not our saviour."
We were taken a little off guard, but made changes on the fly and all of a sudden this group of Methodists got a little bit more evangelical.
Praise God that after a day and a half with them, we had six teenagers make a profession of faith. We also had one mother and daughter ask us to lay hands on them and to pray for them because the daughter was in an abusive relationship with a boyfriend. She was scared and wanted God's protection.
What a joy to see God move. To see God change lives. To see God offer Hope. To cross so many cultural and language barriers and to have such fun serving God. What a joy!
I will never have a trip like this again, or work with a group in a setting like this, that I do not share the plan of salvation, and ask if anyone is being led to make a decision.
Praise God! What a couple of days.

I do not think we could have gotten a better team than the group that is there now, I can tell by your blogs that all of you are filled with the spirit. Keep up the good work and we will continue to pray for you. You brother in christ Keitb Gatlin
