started off the week with a few really good lunch clubs.. one we spoke about Seeking First God... so spoke about why its important to Look to God first in all situations no matter how big or small they are, then we spoke about why is Jesus are Superhero.. so we went into a school and one of the young people actually came to the front and in front of all his friends told us why Jesus was his superhero, was Fantastic to see and he was just a real inspiration to me about doing this. so we had two amazing lunch clubs. Also I helped out at Life Kids which is the weekly kids club that happens at life church was great to be involved and see young people ENJOYING coming to church! and I love it there! So Yeah the week started of amazing and finished off even better!!!
So the week Ended with Something called M4 Weekender.. this is one off the Pais ideas for mission with Young people. Hence M4 (Mission 4, 4 ideas for mission) so this weekend was Weekender, so the whole point of the weekender is to invite your young people from your church who you cans see are wanting to do more are wanting to be an impact in their schools and communities, so we ended up getting about 40 young people at the event, from around east Lancashire and it was just a weekend of Praising God and giving the young people ideas off how to work in their communities and get them fired up to get out there! so we had some amazing talks from some directors of Pais GB and hub and team leaders! was great to be involved in it and you could really feel Gods spirit in the event and throughout the weekend. on the last evening off the event God entered the building and his spirit fell among all of the young people and they just ended up praying for each other! 15 year olds praying for other 15 year olds who they have never met before! it was just phenomenal and i loved ever minute of it! I was involved with the worship band so got to play with an amazing group of musicians with our goals just being to worship and bless God!!!
My weekend ended by going to Church Sunday morning and speaking to the church about what im up to and everything, they seem very motivated and exited about ideas i have for the young people at church and are really supporting me well in the ideas i have! i then got to go down to Nelson at the Mission church to watch a lad from the M4 weekender getting baptised! was awesome to go down there and see everyone and one of the Pais workers lead worship and another Spoke and was just great to hear and see them both glorifying God! the service finished and i couldn't find any off the youth anywhere and finally i found them.. all 20 of them were praying with each other in a room in church for about an hour after the service!! come on they were being encouraged to do more by one of the young people who had been on the weekender! was great to see the passion in these young peoples lives and it was a great way to end such a great week
Now we move onto the next stage which is Coaching young people.. we aim to try and SSSS Young people... SO spread the word of God... Spot the young people who are seeking and searching for more.. Stay with the young people who we have spotted then Send the young people out... so over the last few months i have been spreading and spotting young people.. now i am begging to Stay with them and input into their lives and give them encouragement and support in what they want to do over the next year with God!
Time has gone so quick already with Pais, and if the year is continues to be as great as the first few months have been then im looking forward to an AMAZING year!!!
