Then the Lord put out his hand and touched my mouth. And the Lord said to me, "Behold, I have put my words in your mouth. See, I have set you this day over nations and over kingdoms, to pluck up and to break down, to destroy and to overthrow, to build and to plant."
I get most excited about the build and planting part of the verse above. I have no doubt that is what we are here to do! Build these military teens, their families and their community up and at the same tim plant new seeds, water old ones and ready a harvest to God's perfect glory!
I am a bit of a big dreamer and I have had so many visions and my heart leaps when I think of the harvest to come. Military teens from all over Colorado Springs joined together to worship and to share in God's word, to take it to their peers with joy and expectation! How exciting it is to have this kind of hope going into such a hard fought place! First to find them, then to bring them in and then to introduce them to the One True God who LOVES them! AHHH! Can you believe this is our actual day in and day out JOB!?!
Team Praises
*We had a wonderful trip to our Youth Worker's Camp and lots of amazing team building and rest for our souls.
*God continues to provide our every need while we wait to be funded as fully paid staff.
*Our groups blended well for the first time and that was a huge blessing for us to see.
*New Teens are hearing about us and are wanting to be apart of what we have going on.
*New opportunities for new spaces and times are starting to emerge.
*New volunteers are starting to come forward and starting the process of the paperwork required.
Team Prayer Requests
*Please pray for the hearts of the teens we know and have in our small groups. Pray that their faith will deepen supernaturally through Christ. We are asking The Holy Spirit to move in them in ways only He can and to use us to guide, hear and walk with through this season with them.
*Pray for our small groups and for our wisdom as leaders of when to blend and when to add new options.
*For team members, leaders, volunteers and support partners. Pray for the Laborers that will join us!
Individual Requests
For Rachel: For her mom and dad which are in the process of moving and the life change to come within their home.
For Vanessa: For clarity, organization and work/life balance.
For Jeni: For a miracle with their second house in GA, that it will sell or rent soon and that they will have provisions until it is. Also for their kids through this season that they will be understanding in this season and that all their needs will be met.
Thank you for being fellow laborers with us in lifting up our requests. It seems like such a small task and yet it is the very thing that releases God's power over all things we ask to do! This is first and foremost where our works starts in the throne room of God, asking HIM to help, to lead and to bless. Thanking HIM for all things given and taken. So thank you brothers and sisters for working along side us in this ministry here and within our own lives! May you be blessed.
