Quiet time and devotions on the beach...
Group game time...
First, let me apologize for the non-functioning YWAM link tht was given out at church on Sunday. YWAM is trying to fix the web link and will notify us asap when it is working.
Today, Tuesday, God showed His awesome Glory in abundance throughout the entire day, He came to us through our morning quiet time/ devotions, in worship, through our bible teachings with the main speaker, during group games and while we were socializing with other Christian teens.
Today we learned some fantastic ministry tools: how to run a VBS, how to do clown skits, and one incredible, moving drama about the power of Jesus over satan.
This evening our main speaker brought forth a powerful message on purity of the heart and body and hopw we can be defined by others at a young age in a negative way. The message was about how Christ sees us, created us and loves us unconditionally. It was most excellent! At the end of the message, the students were asked to write down a list of their sins. They placed them all into a sack.
The message was followed by a YWAM drama of the crucifixion of Christ. It was very powerful.
During the drama, Christ held the sack of sins around His neck. He was beaten and crucified before our eyes, taking our sins with Him. When Christ was taken off the cross, the students gathered around the cross, broke into small groups and prayed for each other.
It was a monumental turning point in the mission, and in the lives of many students. Please pray for this moment to stay in their hearts and minds as a point of re-dedication and renewal of their faith.
Today was a fantasic day!
For the team, Mark
