The weekend.

Davon/ 3D Glasses/ Trace

Sunday after church, some of the guys wanted to hang out. So we went out for lunch and caught a movie. Later that evening, we started discussing purity. They asked tons of good questions and communicated how hard it is for them not to give in to peer pressure. They explained that it was not just pressure in school, but also back at home in the community that they live in. I explained that I understood that it is tough, but as believers we are not to conform to the mold of this world. It is clear to me that God is doing a work in the lives of these young believers. However they need to be prayed for contentiously, so that that the enemy wont hinder there spiritual growth.

The Big bro!

(These are some of the guys I've been spending time with)

This summer as part of my internship at The Way church, I'll become a big brother to three kids at youth group. I hung out with most of the kids looking for the ones who are spiritually open, teachable, and available. I've found that a lot of them are open to the Word, and that makes it hard to choose only a few; "The harvest is plentiful, but the workers are few."Matthew (9:37). So be in prayer for me in making the wise decision.

Done!

I just graduated from GCBI(the Great Commission Bible Institute), and it feels good to finish something. It was such a great year for me; I was given the privilege to study under Dr. Randall D. Smith. I was also given tons of ministry opportunities with the help of the site coordinator, Mr. Sandel. These opportunities helped me put to use all that I was learning. Now that the year is done, I feel led to continue helping out at a small church called The Way. I've been helping for about six months, and now I feel God has opened the doors for the summer. This summer I'll be helping with the youth group, staring a children ministry, and also starting a guy's house church. I know this is going to be a time for me to learn about ministry, and I'm exited about that.
