Every month we have a special service when the youth minister to our church in serving the Lord. The Cactus Kids sing and quote scripture they have learned in Character First Bible Class that month. What a blessing they are and how cute they look in their western outfits!
Each month we have our teens give testimonies and teach object lessons that touch the hearts of everyone who hears. Our kids sing specials, play instruments for the offering, and the Champions Teen Choir participates by blessing us through song. We have 2 young teens who preach 5-8 minutes each and 1 young adult who preaches about 15 minutes.
There has not been a month that has gone by that my heart was not touched, challenged, or may I say...convicted! I am PROUD of our kids and they're desire to serve God in ministry!! Tabernacle's focus for our teens is the reproducing of ministers for the gospel of Christ. Part-time or full-time that is up to God, but some-time, that is up to our church.
Our youth today are struggling and their leaders seem to be waivering. I receive phone calls and e-mails from those who serve youth (very important) and they're searching for answers, but looking in wrong places. They think that being funny is enough...they think that being talented is sufficient...they think that being educated is adequate. LOVE & PASSION for ministry are the tools for success!! Teach the kids to love God and show them your passion for ministry!! Paul Chappell says this alot, "Vision is better Caught than Taught!"
Youth Night helps to do just that...Our teens work very hard in preparing and practicing to ministrer to the church every month. We teach them to take pride in serving God! To give God their BEST! This has developed into a better love for God and a stronger passion for ministry.
Tonight is Youth Night...Come and be Blessed!!
