Wow, what a wonderful weekend. God really showed up. He taught me that it is not about us but Him and His wishes. It was the best of time with Belton's Youth Group out of Spartanburg, SC. The theme of the weekend was surrounded around one verse out 1 Timothy 4:12. We spent time discussing what it meant to be an example in and outside the church. To begin with I want to run through a brief description of our weekend.
Friday night we began services a little later with some fun time, and announcements. When we started worship I knew it was going to be a great weekend. The sense of the Holy Spirit in that room was clear. God had indeed showed up. I knew there were students with a heart of worship. God showed up most definitely. At invitation time, we had two salvations and several hands requesting prayer for tough situations going on in their lives.
Saturday was a great day as we started out having quiet times on the beach, and then had a second session. The remainder of the day brought much fun and time to spend with these great students and workers. That night I had planned to worship and study. As we began worship God had showed up once again. Wow, I began to hear hearts break and let God continue to move among hearts. The session that night was on being an example in our purity. By the end of the night we had about 7 students escorted out of the room with leaders for some intense prayer time. We must have been in worship for over 2 hours, and then we walked together for some ice cream and fellowship.
Sunday morning we went to church at the camp, and heard a great message on services and some Irish children singing. That night I had the desire to do some testimony times during out worship before our final message. Once again God had other plans, and took the service in a different way than planned praise God. I am confident that EBC's students truly sought the face of God this weekend. It was perhaps one of the most freeing and best praise times I have ever been in quite a while.
Friday Session: Speech and Conduct
Saturday Morning Session: Love
Saturday Night Session: Purity
Sunday Night Session: Planned to talk about Faith (Never did)
I love them with the love of God, and cherish each and every one in my heart. I can't wait to see them again. I look forward to our next time to reunite. I love you guys very much.
