Earning the right to be heard....: ABC's

ABC's

So last night was YL Club... LSN meets in 3 car garage at a kid's house. Somehow we made a freezing 3 car garage a place where you could warm up... and actually people were sweating. That took some song singing and dancing and a lot of people to fill the space and I'm thankful. Last night I had the privilege of giving my favorite talk at Club... How to Follow Jesus. Using the analogy of my marriage vows and that commitment- A- admitting I desire and need my husband. B- believing he is who he says he is, which is loyal, honesty, and humble (love you babe). C-committing myself to him in relationship. It is the same with Jesus. ABC. A-admit you need Jesus bc of our sin, and brokenness. B- believing He is who He says He is- God and He died for us and rose again for us to live. C-committing our entire story to Jesus.

So last night in the midst of craziness kids listened for 20 minutes and heard the invitation to Christ. What an honor to be involved in what God is doing in this city.

Today I read two posts on facebook:
1. Give God your story
2. I'm giving my life to the only one who gives me hope when I have none.

AMEN.

Nothing like the Truth!
A - All about Jesus
B - Because He paid the price
C - Come to Him

Go, Tracee!

5 C's of Young Life

Club: Club is our once a weekly event that lets kids be kids. We give kids the opportunity to be kids again by singing, dancing, and playing crazy games. Students hear a message from the Bible in terms they can understand. YL club is for everyone, no matter where they stand in their faith.

Contact Work: Where there are high school kids there are YL leaders. We believe in earning the right to be heard by building friendships with kids. We come to their turf, whether that's sporting events standing in the stands beside them or coming up to after school and grabbing a Sonic.

Campaigners: Campaigners are small groups made up of students and a leader committed to sharing their lives, struggles, and joys with one another. Student grow deeper in their faith as they explore the Bible and God's love in a life-changing way.

Camp: Young Life states...."Camp is the best week of your life." That is a proven fact. Kids get the chance to have adventure camping at resort quality facilities and share an unforgettable experience. Kids get to leave their normal routine while they hear about and process the need for a personal relationship with Jesus Christ.

Church: Young Life is not the church. We desire our students to be a part of local a congregation. If our students are ready to go deeper we strongly encourage them to attend a local church.
