Today marked the final day of Mission Impossible. For the past two weeks anywhere between five and 23 of us have been gathering together at 6:00 in the morning to watch a Rob Bell video, but more importantly to beg God to begin a spiritual awakeing inside of us that will spread throughout Wooddale Senior High, Wooddale Church, our area, our city, churches across the world, our nation and the world.
Here are some observations that I have:
1. Students continue to blow me away, even after fifteen years of youth ministry. I love the passion that they have to change their world, and to see God work through them.
2. Students can be prayer warriors. I have never heard such sweet and passionate prayers.
3. Students like sacrifice. They enjoyed waking up at 6:00 in the morning, because it was among other things a tangible way to show their love and devotion to God.
4. Prayer really does make an impact. We saw so many prayer requests answered in the ten days that we me.
5. This is important. We probably need to try to do this at least once a week throughout the year.
6. People need Jesus. They really do. That was shown again and again as we met. And, I need to be more grateful for what Jesus has done for me.
7. God will never say, "No," to a person asking for spiritual awakening in their own life. Jesus is moving in the lives of those who gathered.
8. I'm part of something really special here. I really do have one of the most incredible jobs in the world.
9. We have a great volunteer staff. So many of them came out at least once to pray, seek God's face, and encourage students.
10. Students today have it tough. They really do. It's not just a copout when they are making wrong choices. It's tougher to grow up today than ever before.
Will you join us in praying for a spiritual awakening?
