Saturday the church was filled with youth and youth
pastors from around the state! The
morning started out with Tim Moon getting everyone warmed up for the day with a
game to get our blood pumping. "SUBMARINE!" Shelly then led a devotion on "Practicing
the Presence of God," which ended with small group discussion. I had feedback from one of our 'older'
attendees who was not in a small group but was listening in on their
discussions and she came to me and told me how amazed she was at the depth of
spiritual maturity our teens were displaying.
She was impressed.
The afternoon ended with fun in the dunk tank, in which
many of our youth pastors, a few of our young people and even our state youth
leader had their time in the tank and no one escaped without getting
dunked! It was so much fun! A free lunch was provided for all who
attended and we enjoyed a time of just being together, talking, laughing and
eating!
At the conclusion of the weekend our afternoon started
off with worship led by Cris Birch where we just experienced a powerful move of
God! Then Sister Sylvia closed the
convention with another powerful word and the convention ended with a powerful
prayer time, youth praying for youth!
Beautiful! I would like to thank
all those who helped make this convention a success, I am very grateful to God
for surrounding me with such outstanding people! I praise our Father for ministering to our
youth throughout the weekend, I have heard a few testimonies from the weekend,
most of which state that at some point God spoke specifically to them, giving
them hope and healing. Thank you Jesus!
