One Parent to Another
As you know, February is Black History month. It got me thinking about Dr. Martin Luther King’s famous “I have a dream” speech. I read it on the internet the other day and the words stirred me again, as they have many times before. Later that same day, I was thinking about EDGE and the dream God has put in my heart for our students. It is simple and it is big.
I dream of our kids being so on fire for God that the entire church family can’t help but notice and be inspired. I dream of one day seeing hundreds of our students on their faces as a group in prayer. I dream of seeing leaders and teachers rise up out of our youth groups with a passion for God’s Word. I dream of worship so alive and full of the spirit of God that lives are forever changed. I dream of our kids having an eternal impact in the community…being a witness of the love of Jesus wherever they go…drawing in the lost and lonely of their generation. I also dream of parents coming together in support of each other, and committed to prayer. A ministry to help heal relationships between teens and parents, or help them grow even stronger.
That is my dream. That is my prayer. I am believing God for BIG things.
Here is the simple part…meet me for prayer on EDGE nights at 8:15 in the conference room. God has amazing things in store for our kids, and I don’t want to miss a bit of it.
How about you?
