How Do I Describe

 How do I describe what happened last night? I can tell you thirty students showed up when we had not seen over six all summer. I can tell you they were energized in recreation. I can inform you they were enthralled in worship. Several singing with lifted hands, others eyes closed lost in praise of the King of Kings. I can tell you two teenagers were gloriously saved and others rededicated their lives. I can report our adults served with every ounce of their being putting their souls into the labor of love. I can tell you Eric was anointed as I have often experienced in our working together for thirty years. It was like a night at youth camp.

What I cannot describe is the heaviness of the Spirit of God at work last night. I can't describe the multiple little acts of kindness unnoticed by most, but noticed by Brenda and I. This is a special place and a special group of people. We see evidence of God working. We ask and trust Him for more.

I can report the spiritual warfare is intensifying on multiple fronts. I can report that fervent prayers have been lifted with fasting. I can tell you that we are engaged in the war of winning as many student's souls as possible. I can write to you this has been building all summer toward this coming Sunday where we celebrate baptisms at Lake Meredith after our morning worship service. We have asked God for 50 .

I come into tonight with great expectations. Believing for more students to come and to meet Jesus as their Savior. What an honor and privilege to get to point them to the One who died to justify them our Lord Jesus. [Rom 5:8-9] Justification is not a doctrine most would preach to students. It is where God impressed me last night. God gripped their hearts. He captured their attention. He drew them to Himself. What might He do tonight?
