One afternoon, we had low attendance at our teen ministry. The MC Youth Pastor responded to God’s prompting and turned the time into a message specifically for the 40+ youth that were there as part of our team (CHCC, His Love, Monte Calvario and Bethel). Many (both youth and adults) responded to the challenge to live boldly for Jesus and not hold anything back from Him. The Pastor finished the service by asking the youth from the village who were at the meeting to bring back their friends if they thought it was worthwhile – and the next day we had 33 village youth attend!!! That day, after a strong message and testimony, we invited the teens to write a temptation or struggle on a piece of paper and “nail” it to a wooden cross we had built. One by one, the teens came forward – youth from the village, from our team and from our partner churches – until the cross was covered with struggles surrendered to Christ. Each trip, God orchestrates these life-changing moments!
