I had the pleasure of seeing God working in and through a youth group today. Scott Avenue Christian Church in Newton, IL sent their youth group to help us in any way they could. Before I arrived, they cleaned up the storm debris from our parking lot. They were ready to serve!
After a short time catching them up on Life Bridge and our mission, they broke up into teams and went all over the place. One team went back to the church building and set up the computers, projectors, and cables that had been moved for last weekend's service at the fair. Other teams trained on all three trollies, learned the booth, and covered everything at the fair from opening till 4. Then they regrouped to get ready for their next stop and more service.
Speaking to their Youth Minister, it was a blessing to share visions with one another. They are raising up their youth with a heart to serve anywhere God's Kingdom needs workers.
While listening to him, I also thought about our part of His Church - encouraging people to live out John 17. I looked at the poster on the wall someone made specifically for the fair. These weren't our visions for our local churches. The visions fit together perfectly - almost like two pieces of a really big puzzle. I love it when we see another part of His picture and how we all fit together.
