Youth Zone Report
Praise God, who is at work both through us and, indeed, without us! VIA has grown as we have gained new recruits from 1st year teens and friends of those who have been attending in previous years. Also two girls have joined VIA as a follow on from the Friday Club in Cloughleigh.
As teens come from various backgrounds, it can sometimes be uncomfortable or scary and difficult for them to relate, accept and love one other. Please pray that VIA will be a suitable, fun-loving, safe, caring environment where God can break down walls and impact these young peoples’ lives in an amazing and eternal way! Each one needs the Lord; those ‘churched’ and those ‘unchurched’.
We need Jesus: to be our Wisdom, our Teacher, our Guide, our Vision, our Strength, our Protector, our Stronghold, our Peace, our Love, the Word we speak, our Health, our Joy, our Hope, our Salvation - our Way, our Truth, our Life - our All in All!
Jesus said to him, “I am the way, and the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me (Jn 14:6).
The hymn ‘Be Thou my Vision’ (No. 51 in Mission Praise) keeps coming to mind …
… Be Thou my Wisdom, Thou my true Word; I ever with Thee, Thou with me, Lord; … Be Thou my battle-shield, sword for my fight, Be Thou my dignity, Thou my delight. Thou my soul’s shelter, Thou my high tower …
Let it be Lord - For us to live is Christ - Amen!
We forget sometimes - it is a Spiritual battle, but we don’t fight it alone - Praise God! The battle belongs to the Lord! Jesus has already won the Victory. Amen and Hallelujah!!
For the battle is the LORD’s, and he will give you into our hand.(1Sa 17:47)
Pray that we, as His subjects, will serve sacrificially, wholeheartedly and without fear, bringing glory and honour to Jesus our King!
