Matthew 9:27 - "Then [Jesus] said to his disciples, 'The harvest is plentiful but the workers are few. Ask the Lord of the harvest, therefore, to send out workers into his harvest field.'"

Praying Big.
Currently in Rochester, we have Young Life in 6 towns, which includes 8 high schools. In these 8 high schools alone, there are over 11,500 students! 11,500 students need to hear the gospel. Currently, we have 27 leaders going out, into those schools, into the lives of high school kids. Praise God! These leaders are such a blessing to our schools, communities, and kids. But we're asking for more! I refuse to believe that Jesus will be satisfied until every kid has the chance to hear the gospel. That's the mission of Young Life: Every kid, everywhere, for eternity. If we're trying to reach every kid, then we need some more leaders! As a staff, we got together to figure out how many leaders would be ideal to have at our schools, and we started praying today. We committed to praying for these leaders, every time we meet as a staff, as a team, and at leadership. We are praying in expectation that the Lord will draw more leaders, to draw more students to himself, and ultimately, to bring himself more glory.

Thanks, Megan, for sharing your blog. I am looking forward to getting to know you better and to praying for you and with you. I listened to the Ryan Long "Change Me" - a message we need every day since most of us resist change -- getting out of our comfort zone is scary! I can see that God is at work in your life! WOW!!
