This past Sabbath some families went to Cobb County Juvenile Dentention Center and ministered to the youth. The kids from Lakeview performed their Christmas Musical and did a wonderful job. I afterwards had the opportunity to speak to the youth there. Pastor Peter asked me during church if I could go there with them. I told him I would be glad to. Then he said, "you also need to speak 10 minutes. Is that fine?" I said, "No problem." However, as I went home for lunch I started thinking about what I was going to say. What do you say? And even when I arrived, I wasn't sure what I was going to talk about. However, I knew I wanted to challange them of the importance of Christ and asking Him in their lives. So, that is what I did. I was praying hard. After the talk, and while we were taking down the kids set, a guard came up to me and told me that there was a youth that wanted to talk to me. He told me his name and said, "I really appreciated what you had to say. And I know God spoke to me during your talk. If you don't mind, can you pray for me that Jesus will come in my life." I prayed with him for several minutes and then said farewell. After that moment, I couldn't stop thinking about this young man. It is amazing how God will touch lives. I saw it happen in this youth's life. It wasn't me. It was God. I hope and pray for boldness and strength as he continues on.
