God is raising up the next generation of Christian leaders and it is exciting to witness. An integral part of our mission and our prayer for our students is that they will honor God with their lives and will offer themselves in service to Him. Our 321 Youth program meets every Monday night and our kids share in a meal and have a time of hanging out, worship, small groups and teaching. A prayer of our heart for the youth is that many will feel the call of God to step into leading through serving and praying. We are having consistently 8-10 students who choose to come for our pre-service prayer time, praying to see God move in their peers during teaching and worship time. We currently have 7 students who have applied to be Jr Leaders, experiencing a time of discipleship, mentoring, and service. A few of our youth are also coming to Backyard Bible Clubs to help hand out snacks and encourage our elementary school kids. It is beautiful to see our students stepping into these places of leading and praying for their friends and those younger than them.
This week at 321 was super special as two of our students stepped up to lead in our worship and teaching time. Polly is growing in serving the Lord through worship and she joined the worship team this week. When asked why she feels called to serve, Polly shared, “Whenever I volunteer and help out, that’s one of the ways I feel closest to God.” Another student, Jordan, felt God was calling him to speak to the students at 321. He came and met with our team, prepared for a couple of weeks, and this week taught a very powerful message to his peers. Jordan shared, “One of the main reasons I love to step up and lead at House of Faith is because, I have found Jesus personally in my life, and I want all my friends to know that same kind of love.”
God beautifully brought this verse to mind as we are witnessing our students rise up and lead for God’s glory:
Don’t let anyone look down on you because you are young, but set an example for the believers in speech, in conduct, in love, in faith and in purity. (1 Timothy 4:12)
Join us in praising the Lord for how He is raising up our next generation of Christian leaders!
