In our Reunion Pastors Meeting Tuesday night we spent most of our time in prayer. We prayed for many of our young adults and teens by name. We all agreed to FAST one meal tomorrow and spend extra time in prayer, as we repent for our areas of failure and call upon the Lord for a revival of higher standards and holy living. In talking to someone I referred to it as "Weeping Wednesday" because I had in mind the passage in Luke 19:41 in which Jesus wept over Jerusalem because of their lack of response. Our leaders were weeping Tuesday night over the recent decline in the standard of holy living we are seeing in our youth and young adults... the desensitization to sin, the creeping affection for the values of the world, the absence of Holy Spirit conviction in many of those we have nurtured and discipled.
You're invited to join us as we fast and pray. We're starting with one meal, on Wednesdays, and we are asking God...
• to forgive us, as leaders, for failing to provide consistent youth programs and youth leadership.
• to pour Holy Spirit conviction upon those who are drifting from a vital relationship with Christ.
• to either raise up or bring us a plugged in, charismatic, tested, faithful, Youth Pastor with unblemished integrity.
• to help us reestablish our Youth Camp Ministry with new leadership an anointing.
• to restore those who have dropped out, fallen away, given up, or fallen through the cracks... we want them all back!
We welcome and invite you to join our leaders in this time of prayer, repentance and seeking the face of God.
If you will be either praying along with us, fasting one meal, or both, please drop me a response and let me know so I can pass that encouragement along to the entire team.
