I’m pretty much posting this everywhere that people might read it and pray for it.  I’ll try to remember to post an update next week.

I have an awesome prayer request that I’d appreciate if you’d pass along for anyone who is so inclined to pray about such things.  We’re planning on launching a youth group.  We just happened to be blessed with a Newsboys concert in our town this weekened so we decided to use that as the time to launch.  Since we only have about 2 youth aged teens that regular attend our church I had no idea what to expect.  But we have 15 coming to the concert and most have expressed an interest in youth group!  Even more, a couple of the parents that we’ve connected with who also feel the need to attend/come back to church and are interested in coming to our church.
 
So, my prayer is first of all a huge praise for making this happen.  But I’m just asking that we would have an effective launch of our youth group and that we’d make good connections with not only the teens but their parents as well.  God has already blown me away by this and I’m asking that He would just totally floor me when the dust settles and we really see what He has done.
