Hey Everyone! Like I said before we left, I wasn't sure we would have internet once we got to the school and, alas, we did not. I got to update the blog on the first night but not any others because the "secret" computer was not available.
To sum up the trip, it was amazing! After talking with just about every student, I feel they all learned a lot and grew even more! Thursday nights service was in particularly awesome. It is called the "concert of prayer' and it's an interactive prayer service. The staff at World Changers this year did a great job at challenging our students to pray for those in their neighborhood and those around the world as well. As our students began praying, they were broken for the lives of their friends and family who don't know Christ. We took a long time in our youth group devotion time that night to pray for those friends specifically.
After this time of prayer, we took another minute to acknowledge those called into ministry or missions in some way, shape, or form. We had 9 students come forward!!! My heart dropped and I was so blessed by what God was doing in the lives of our students. I was called to ministry when I was in high school so we made sure to take some time right then and lay our hands on this group and pray for them.
This one night kind of summarizes our whole trip. It was an amazing experience to serve and love on the students and just watch them grow spiritually. I am so incredibly proud of this group that I cannot explain it to others. I have never been more proud of these students since I have been at Graceland for the past 5 and a half years.
Parents- you have amazing kids! Keep raising them in a Godly home and keep pushing them to know Him more! It's great partnering with you!!!
