Wednesday Nights & Year Finishing

I thought last Wednesday Night went OK, and I did get a lot of the commitment cards back, so that was encouraging to see where the teens think they are at. Of course, the number one answer by far on the commitment cards was "I have a realtioship with Jesus Christ, but I want to grow closer." So, I sent out an email to everyone and said, "I am your youth pastor and want to know what I can personally do or what FOCUS Factor Ministries can do to help you grow closer." I haven't gotten back a single email, which is probalby normal because of where they are at in their maturity. I did have one person come up to me and say that he prayed the prayer of acceptance, so that is awesome (PRAISE THE LORD)! I suppose we just keep preachin' the Word and leave the rest up to God. If any of you have ideas or suggestions about how we can help them grow closer to the LORD just let me know. You all have been doing a great job and we will get into small groups tonight for at least 15 minutes, since I know it has been a while for that. I think we will be missing a lot of people tonight because of some school activities that are going on so your small groups may be even smaller. You all are the backbone of the ministry and I appreciate everything you do. Have a good day and we'll see you tonight.
