If you would've told me two years ago that I would be a youth pastor for a church plant in the state of Washington today... I probably WOULD HAVE believed you. Why you ask? Because the God of the Bible/the Jesus that I worship/the Holy Spirit that lives within me, is about doing the things that are "exceedingly, abundantly more than I can ask or imagine." (Eph 3:20)
I am in awe at how often He chooses to blow my mind in this way. This is many many God stories lumped into one, but in the year and 8 months that I have lived here, I have seen God take a tiny youth group and change the hearts of the students involved. Yes we have seen numerical growth but it has started with the heart change of the beginning few and the urgency that Jesus has laid on their hearts. We are at the point where not only have we had to split jr high and high schoolers up, but we have had to start a boys and girls small group during the week because of the growth that these students are seeking.
This is not something that anyone but God can do, so I want to thank Him for the students that He has brought in and the students that He will continue to bring in.
My prayer attached to this God Thing is that you don't limit God in what He wants to do in your life. Ask Him to do exceedingly abundantly more than you can ask or imagine and follow when He tells you to go.
