The first 3 weeks of our youth group year were done together, year 7 to year 12. Soulies Junior Crew + Soulies Senior Crew = Soulies United. It was a sweet time to hang out as a larger family. I also used the time to speak about how it is we roll: Love Jesus; Love Jesus’ People; and Love Jesus’ World. While any week is a good week to bring a friend to youth group, week 3 was particularly aimed at friends who don’t yet know Jesus.
In week 1, I encouraged people to bring so many friends that they wouldn’t fit in. Good news… they didn’t! We had young punks sitting out in the foyer and in the door ways. We grew by 47% from week 2 to week 3. Very cool. I’m really encouraged by the boldness of the teenagers in our community.
But the best news about this past Friday night is that 6 people indicated that they prayed to become a Christian and another 14 said they were keen to find out more about Jesus. Praise God for his kindness. We’re now praying that we’d look after new Christians and keep pointing enquirers to Jesus.
Involved in youth ministry? Keep encouraging your young people to bring their friends; preach Jesus; pray that God would work.
Don’t know Jesus? He’s the King who Saves and Rules. Check him.
