That is our call as followers of Christ. 'With all authority given to Jesus, therefore go.' So that is what we, as a team in Pittsford, are doing. We are going and making disciples. And through that, the Lord has led us and ministry in Pittsford to YL Club! Lord willing, it's happening on Thursday! And we're really looking forward to it. We've been talking and praying about this for a while, we've waited a long time for the Lord to move in certain ways for it to happen, and we are just ready to have some fun with these kids!
We've said all along that our purpose in club is this: to have fun & live life to the full, to love people, and to talk about Jesus. And we can't wait to do just that on Thursday! It's going to be a celebration. And I'm pumped.
What's cool is that I already deem club a success. Why? Because through the planning for club, we've had the opportunity to go and make disciples. Last night, our team got to spend time with a few high school kids practicing music. We sat in my basement for over 2 hours goofing around, actually practicing, preparing, praying, and in worship. It was the best, and in that we were making disciples. We've had the last month or so of campaigners being about loving people, sharing the gospel, and what club could be about. We've looked into different scripture and looked at Jesus and the way he lived his life. In that, we were making disciples. We've made t-shirts! But through the t-shirts, gave kids the opportunity to design something, to work hard, to vote, to encourage each other, and to really lift up some gifts they've been given. And in that, we were making disciples. We got to take 15 high school kids to the Lodge, to blast music in the parking lot, to talk about what club could look like, and pray with them! Pray for their friends, their school, and for them. In that, we were making disciples.
Pittsford YL Club has already been a success. The Lord is moving. I'm just so thankful that we get to be part of it.
PLEASE pray with us! Pray that the Lord would draw kids to club Thursday night. Pray that they wouldn't be able to stay away. That Christ would be proclaimed in everything that happens there, in word and deed. That eternal decision would be made. That everyone there (leaders, kids who know Christ, and kids who don't, committee) would know that they are loved by the God of the universe solely because He created them!
7:18. Thursday night. Set your alarms and pray with us! I look forward to sharing more about what the Lord does in Pittsford this week!
