Outreach night

The last time I posted we were leading up to our youth outreach night, and I was feeling frustrated. But now, after the outreach night, I am so thankful to God, and know that I should have been trusting in him all along. Usually our youth outreach nights are for members of both our highschool group and young adult group to invite friends. Last night was nearly entirely made up of highschool kids, with even some primary school kids aswell. A much younger crowd than we were expecting. Our young adults leader, who was giving the talk, had to quickly adapt the talk for that audience, and did a fantastic job. It was such a relevant message for the kids, and really got them involved aswell. There was so much energy in the youth group, more than we're used to!!

After the talk was the opportunity for kids to pray and give their life to the Lord, or to rededicate their lives. Three kids gave their life to the Lord, two friends of youth group kids, and one youth group girl who's been coming to church her whole life. A few other kids rededicated their life. Best moment: one of the kids who had never been to church before asked his dad if he could come back to church on Sunday...and he was there this morning! Praise the Lord for his great faithfulness and his great power in drawing people to himself. Now the important work starts, the follow-up. Hopefully these kids can start coming to youth group regularly.
