What a week it has been...
Today was the big "We Care Pittsburgh" event where 2000 people blitzed the city and surrounding communities serving and sharing in the name of Jesus. 1/3 of our group worked really hard to finish up projects at the school we've been working at all week, while the other 60ish headed to Coraopolis to serve in any way possible throughout the neighborhoods. It was evident by the end of our time there that we had definitely been used by God to impact this community. Most groups of students had positive interactions with people, and took advantage of opportunities to pray with and for people. Many served people with projects around their houses, played with children - all "shared their lives"! One group was even able to lead a boy to Christ today! May Heaven rejoice!
Tonight was the closing session of the conference which included a challenge/reminder that we are "Christ's ambassadors" if we are believers. The question is not "are we?"; the question is "what kind of ambassador" are we.
We also celebrated the ministry of Jesus in our lives - past, present and future - through a communion ceremony - Momentum style! The evening session concluded with the first-ever "love feast PARTY" with 2,000 people, 2,000 balloons and 2,000 pieces of wedding cake! What a night!
We ended the entire week in youth group time, where every student shared with an adult their one "so what?" application point of what they learned this week. It is evident that God showed up this week! We will continue to process this with students and encourage them to remember their commitments to Christ this week!
Thanks for your continued prayer. Please pray for safety for our travels tomorrow! We expect to be back to Lititz between 12:30-1:00 p.m.
Good night and thanks for keeping up with us!!!
