Generous Teenager

I am always challenged by a student's willingness to honor God with every part of their life. check out this entry by Perry Noble. It will be well worth the read for both parents and students.

It's been a blessing to see various students over the years give like this student did!

RPM Last Night

RPM was incredible last night!!!!
We prayed over our new facility that God would move in the lives of students that would come. We prayed for construction to start quickly, that all the hurdles would be knocked down and mountains made flat. After the time of prayer we had a great time just talking about our ministry as a whole. The discussion was great. The students had some great insights and observations. I think we might do this kind of think every 8 to 10 weeks. It was very refreshing. The guests even participated in the discussion. We had like 7 guests last night. It was awesome!

SNAC was great as well. Thanks so much to the Hatch's for opening their home to us. I had yard envy.

Sunday Night RPM & SNAC!!!!

We are finally back at it this Sunday night at 5pm for rpm. We will have a special prayer time for construction of the upstairs as well as a talk back time. During the talk back time i would love for you to share with me some ideas and thoughts about what could help us maximize our reaching students for Christ. After rpm we will head over to the Hatch's house for SNAC.

Below are all the details:

Parent's Responsiblity

Today there was a great blog by a guy named Tim Stevens. He is the executive pastor at Granger community church. I believe he had some great insight for parents raising teens. He has a few of his own so think speaks from some experience.

Here is just a highlight:

• The environments parents place their students in just before the teen years will often dictate the student's environments they pick.
  

• As they start middle school, don't give them the option to stay home from the youth program.

• Get them in situations where they are hanging with young adults who are following God.

• Let them participate in events where there is a good chance they might take a step spiritually, like summer camp, missions trips, or weekend retreats.
