As I write this, I am praying that the weather forecasters know what they are talking about and that we will receive some blessings of rain from God. But even as I write that, I know that the blessings of God are always on time and that we often miss them because we are looking in other places and miss what God is doing. One of the things that God is doing is working in the area of our youth. Matt is doing a great job of leading and helping us in this area. Pray for him and for what God will do through his ministry in the church and at the camp. Another area of our youth is the World Changers project coming this Summer. We are already at 200 kids who will be here to help us minister to our community and work on homes. It will be our opportunity to step up and join with our God in making a difference. Find a way to help and get involved. Finally, DNow is coming. We are going to be blessed with Ray McElroy, former NFL defensive back and current chaplain for the Chicago Bears. God is going to use this time as an opportunity to reach our kids, if we will do our part in getting them here. The theme this year is I am Second. Pray now for what God will do as we partner with Him to reach teenagers for Christ. I am glad I am your pastor.
