It was a great weekend; Waters Edge 4th Annual Fall Retreat: Chili Pepper Faith.
During the weekend we had 3 youth come to know Christ as there personal Lord and Saviour. But more importantly, God worked in the hearts of our youth, and instilled within them a passion to have faith and serve the Lord fully.
It is my challenge over the next month to set up a small group / discipleship program that will Equip these youth, Encourage them to continue and Execute the Gospel message to there peers, family and neighbors.
Take a look at 1 Timothy 6:11-16
1 Timothy 6:11-16
English: Contemporary English Version (1999) - CEV
Fighting a Good Fight for the Faith 11 Timothy, you belong to God, so keep away from all these evil things. Try your best to please God and to be like him. Be faithful, loving, dependable, and gentle. 12 Fight a good fight for the faith and claim eternal life. God offered it to you when you clearly told about your faith, while so many people listened. 13 . Now I ask you to make a promise. Make it in the presence of God, who gives life to all, and in the presence of Jesus Christ, who openly told Pontius Pilate about his faith. 14 Promise to obey completely and fully all that you have been told until our Lord Jesus Christ returns. 15 The glorious God is the only Ruler, the King of kings and Lord of lords. At the time that God has already decided, he will send Jesus Christ back again. 16 Only God lives forever! And he lives in light that no one can come near. No human has ever seen God or ever can see him. God will be honored, and his power will last forever. Amen.
