the glorious unseen

on august 8th, 9th, and 10th, the glorious unseen will be joining us for outpouring. i am so excited to have this group come down. their album with tooth and nail will just be coming out. it will be a very exciting time for them and i am glad that our youth ministry will get to share in that.

however, the thing i am most excited about is the fact that, ben, had asked if they could hang out with the group in our first communications together. in my opinion that speaks very loudly to me. the willingness that they have to be a part of the ministry that will be taking place outside of their opportunities to lead us in worship is amazing.

glue boys

what a great resource! we are using this video tonight as we have begun a series on social justice. the video is eye opening and very revealing about what is happening to children in other lands and yet we have the ability to impact both positively and negatively. we are called to watch over and take care of those who are being oppressed in the world. education is the first step. what's your next?

the largest oak

finally we visited the one of largest oaks in florida, so lake griffin state park claims. it is thought to be about 300 years old. it is a big tree. while the park is a nice place to pic nic and maybe a nice camping stop, there is little else to offer. but the peace of quiet may be worth it.

two high school graduates delay college for missions

Molly McEntire and Ashley Oetinger delayed going to college in the fall of 2006 to answer their call into missions. from august 28th through november 26th they worked in Kenya serving at the norocco academy and a korean methodist mission there in Kenya. they also spent time at the new life orphange and the beacon of hope, which is a center for women infected or affected with HIV/AIDS.

working in youth ministry myself, i find it an amazing thing when high school students are ready, prepared, and take action based on the call God has placed in their life. as the article continues, they raised the own funding and support to make this happen.

too often teenagers feel and sometimes are led to believe that they don't have the ability to make a difference. sometimes we feel like Africa is so far away, what could we possibly do here to help.

yet, here is a story of two young women who were called to make a difference and were able to go share God's love with people world's away.

more and more stories like this need to come to forefront of todays news.
