The Youth of the Nation

Great times! Yesterday was ________(any adjective that describes amazing other than amazing)!
We have been partnering with Decatur Master's Commission, Real Encounter Ministries, and X-treme School Assemblies to reach the North Alabama area. Tonight will be having a massive youth event with motocross, BMX, live music, food, and of course the Gospel. We are expecting THOUSANDS of young people. Yesterday we held assemblies at Priceville High School in Decatur, AL and Discovery Middle School in Madison, AL. We connected with close to 1500 students. Some of us even ate lunch with some middle schoolers. Today we are expecting to do 3 more assemblies before the big event tonight at 6:30.
I'm so impressed with how teens today are receptive to positive adult interaction. These are not the jaded rebels that everyone talks about. These young people want to be something. they want to do right. They want to help people and make a positive impact in the world. All they need is a hand of help, a shoulder to stand on, and someone willing to get off of the horse and lead them in love. I am so blessed to GET to do what I do.
God, do BIG things in the hearts and lives of these students today.
