Identity

Last week at youth group, we talked to the students about where they find their identity.  Do they allow other people to define them?  Do they allow the media to tell them who they need to be?  We were studying the life of David as a young boy.  Despite many set backs and people telling him that he wasn't worth much, he knew who he was because he knew whose he was.  He allowed himself to be defined by God and not the people around him.  Our biggest prayer for these youth is that they would come to know the Lord and that they would find their identity in Him!  After we talked to them, two students gave their hearts to the Lord!  What a wonderful praise!!  We are very excited to see how these two grow.  Since we don't want to give away student's names on our blog, we'll just ask that you pray for S. and A. Pray that they would grow in their hunger for the Lord and that they would be committed to living for the Lord.  Pray that they would find their identity in the Lord!

We are planning on having a youth camp April 11-13 in Byfield which is about 30ish km up the road.  The hopes are to have the camp at a person's house from our church.  Unfortunately, we are having a very difficult time getting on contact with the people and we're struggling to plan the camp because we need to see the location.  Please pray with us that we can see the location soon!!
