Friends,
This past Saturday was our OFFICIAL LAUNCH for Saturday Live Youth!
As with anything that is new, there were a few bumps in the
road, but all in all, we deemed the afternoon a success.
Saturday Live began with serving lunch to all of the youth. We are really trusting the Lord for funds to do this each and every week. YMS was also so fortunate to have an awesome youth band from one of our local churches, The Barn Fellowship, come out to Refilwe to put on the praise and worship. We were so grateful to them and they did an amazing job to really get the
youth excited for worship.
After Saturday's program, it was apparent that these youth are hungry for God's Word and really do want to grow. We asked them to write down ideas that they have for Saturdays, names that they would like to call our Saturday club, topics they would like to discuss as well as prayer requests they have. At times these youth are a bit shy to open up, but writing things down proved to be powerful. After doing Beat the Drum during the holiday program, these youth are hungry to know more about healthy relationships. I was pleasantly surprised!
Here are a few things they would like your prayers in:
-School work/studies
-Joy
-Wisdom
-Health
-Receiving and experiencing the Holy Spirit
-That Saturday Live would grow in numbers and commitment
In addition, the team would also love to have your prayers. Our leadership team is struggling a bit as far as commitment goes. We really want to see each one step up and take their role seriously as they lead these youth. Our team is still learning, but we want to see them progress in their relationship with the Lord as well as with YMS.
Thanks for loving these youth with your prayers and support!!!
With Love,
The YMS Team
