Refresh The Soul

Behold, how good and pleasant it is when brothers dwell in unity! It is like the precious oil on the head, running down on the beard, on the beard of Aaron, running down on the collar of his robes! It is like the dew of Hermon, which falls on the mountains of Zion! For there the Lord has commanded the blessing, life forevermore.
Psalms 133:1‭-‬3 ESV

Today we pack for a FREE Youth Workers Retreat! We have been blessed with this time together as a team and look forward to the whispers of hope for our team here.

We have gained much administrative ground over the last couple weeks and as we get the emails sorted and tasked divvied up we are finding just how monumitous our plans are. We have great ideas and we are meeting some amazing kids. Doors seem to be opening here and there and life as a team has begun. What a praise it is to work with fun-loving, mission-focused people!

We have great needs, however, as we plan and begin to implement each plan and for that we bring our requests to the King of Kings and Lord of Lords, as He is the only one able to accomplish any of these things through us.

-We ask for provisions. Monetary and donations. Our salaries and our mission determine on the giving of others. Just as we have been called to do this work, we believe others have been called to support it. Pray for partnerships to be formed and for donors to come forward with the same sense of action we have for doing the work here.

-We ask for unity. As our team continues to grow and build pray for our teamwork to be as such. Pray that our actions are Holy Spirit lead and that our fruit is that of eternity matters.

-We ask for volunteers and other leaders to step up and be made knows. For their quality to the mission to be beyond what we could ever ask and for their calling lead them to us and us to them. That we will be fragile with their hearts and work hard to develop them in ways that continues to make disciples long after we are gone. Pray for the names that have put in my heart, that when we are able to ask them, their heart will leap with confirmation of their duties!

-We ask for the hearts of these teens. That seeds will be planted even now and that each student we make contact with will know for certain they are loved and known by the creator Himself. Pray for our words to them be what The Lord wills for them and that every outreach, small group and sports event, that teens will know us by our love.

-Most importantly, we pray that in all things, word and deed we will bring glory to God with our lives inside and out of youth ministry. May this week's getaway bring joy and life to our souls and may the bonding that takes place in the next few days be the work of years together. May The Lord accomplish goodness in our souls that we come back with vision and passion, peace and joy. May God have His way in us!

"Now to HIM who is able to keep you from stumbling and to present you blameless before the presence of HIS glory with great joy,  to The Only God, Our Savior, through Jesus Christ Our Lord, be glory, majesty, dominion, and authority before all time and now and forever, amen."
Jude 1:24-25

Blessings brothers and sisters, we are thankful for your love, support and prayers. We pray for you and yours as well. God is in this and what joy it will be to see His answers from heaven's eyes!
