Awesome Worship

Have you ever been given a vision?

Have you ever been given a vision & see it develop right in front of you?

Have you ever been given a vision & did absolutely NOTHIN' to make it happen?

Well that's just a God thing.

About last October, I started daydreaming about ministry. Student Ministry.
This Student Ministry to be more precise. I have probably have more daydreams, night dreams, visions whatever you want to call it in the last 6 months that probably the last 51 years totally wrapped up in one easy package. But here's what I dreamed about, thought about, written about and prayed about.

A Student Ministry that is not large in numbers but LARGE on their calling. Their calling, meaning their call to WORSHIP. Which is what we are all called to do. Last night was the first step of a journey. A journey which began with God. God placing me right here & right now FOR SEVERAL REASONS. Which is a 3 part matter. #1- To weather the storm yet to come(a church without a pastor) and #2- T0 keep the most prized posession this church has INTACT during yet another time of transition. What is this prized posession you may be asking? Well, it is this Student Ministry. Which has been through way to many transitions.
#3- To lead Students to the real meaning of what it means to be called a "Christian" and to insure their knowledge of the Gospels while Worshiping God with our daily lives.
The first two I'll personally take care of with the help of Derrick, Cristi, Heather, Josh and a few others. #3- Is where the meat and potatoes are.

I see just down the road ahead a different Hope Student Ministry. One that will "draw" Students not only for the Wednesday night messages that actually mean something. But for a true WORSHIP Experinece that is so XTREME that you are "wore out" when it's over.
A Worship Experience that goes beyond what most Students have ever experienced.
But to accomplish this STUDENTS have to be willing to "serve" and that all starts with prayer.
Stay tuned!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
