#FOUR((4)) of Recharge

This weekend we had the highest amount of youth on our property!
At 104 campers!
 
it was one awesome weekend! God worked in many of the youths lives...
>> 3 teens accepted Christ as their personal Savoir!
>> 3 teens dedicated their lives to serving Christ!
 
it's amazing that God let us see the fruit of our efforts- God doesn't have to allow us to partake in the fruit...
God doesn't even need us to bring the gospel to the world.
He could do it all Himself.
But He chooses to use us, to bring glory to Him!
How is God using you...?  
 
 





If you can't tell-!
the Ice-cube is my favorite activity to watch at ReCharge!

Weekend three || RECHARGE

 
Friday afternoon, the electric went out and was out for several hours-
 
I sent text out to several of you asking you to be praying-
 
We was able to fix and eat supper, it was such a great bonding time,
great fellowship and silent!
 
The electric came on within less than an hour of the youth groups arriving!
God answers prayers!

good-byes are temporary...
but it doesn't make departing any easier.



 
 
God bless you all!
 
may you, youth leader, be encouraged to persevere
  to reach your youth and to direct them to God's heart.
 
may you, youth, be encouraged to seek God, in His Word and through prayer.
daily.
 
=========================================================
 
Praise to the Lord....      ---> 5 youth dedicated theirs lives to Christ
                                   ---> 2 youth had assurance of their faith.
 
Pray to the Lord....      ---> that the youth will continue to grow in the Lord
                                          ---> that the students and all those involved in Recharge
                                              will have a renewed strength each weekend.
                         ---> for me that I can continue to grow in my
                                                   relationship with Christ, and keep my focus on Him.
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

January ---> GOD'S WORK IN MY LIFE


Though I didn't completely make it to the one hundred percent on my support, God is working...

my life has been changed and challenged along with many others that have been involved directly or indirectly through the ministry of Word of Life.

In the past couple posts, I have talked about ReCharge, our snow camp, I hope the idea of lives being changed has impacted you as much as it has impacted me.

Youth are accepting Christ as their personal Savior!

Youth are dedicating their lives to Christ for His service!

 ...think about it...

That's Awesome! That is only something God can do!
 
"life change that brings a soul closer to GOD's heart,
is only something that GOD can do Himself."
 

 
How has God been working in your life
                                    or the ones around you?
How IS God working in your life right now?
