Getting Ready!

I am sitting here in my office getting ready for our youth Sunday practice, it is going to be great! We are doing a fun generation skit that will take everyone back in time to when they were a teenager! Last night Erin had the girls book club overnight at our house, and it went great! They had a lot of fun going over the book they are reading, "Be the Change" by Zack Hunter! They also played games and ate lots of food and watched, "End of the Spear"! I went to Forth Smith with Daniel Hayes and we hung out! I figured a house full of girls would outnumber me so I got out of Dodge! Danny and I had a great time talking about God and His calling on us!

Well summer is here and actually we are into it a few weeks believe it or not! We have much to do with remodeling the Zone, events, camps, amusement parks, food fights, and all that fun summer stuff! Next Wednesday we are having an ALL worship night for JSM! We want to take a night and just hang out in God's presence. Then the next week we are having an ALL game night where the students will break up into teams and compete against each other through all types of events. We are going to have prizes for the best dressed gamer and best dressed team. We are getting referee shirts, whistles, and the whole deal, it will be a fun night!

God is doing great things here, and we pray that He continues to give us favor and the ability to connect with these students. We are still getting to know ALL the kids we have it seems never ending with meeting new students that come out that we haven't really talked to yet. We really want to reach all these students but we are taking it a chunk at a time! It is much harder to walk into a youth group of 90+ kids and get to know them than walking into a small group of 15 kids, so we are getting there! Praise God that Journey church is investing into the youth and Pastor Jeff is 100% behind us, what a great church, great pastor, and great GOD we serve!
