Rally Time

After several weeks off for the birth of our third child, I am in a meeting once again. I am preaching a teen meeting in New Castle, IN that will run through Thursday night. I will also be preaching to the church on Sunday following the teen meeting. I am program director, pianist, and preacher for the meeting, so things are a bit hectic right now. Last night, however, we did have 16 visitors and one young man trusted Christ as Savior. Please pray for the following things:

1. Revival in the hearts of the saved teens in attendance. Several are really struggling spiritually.

2. A good rapport with the teens. Pray that God would give me an entrance into their hearts.

3. Attendance to be good. Pray that God will bring in teens whose hearts have been opened by the Spirit of God.

4. Salvations. The pastor's main goal in this meeting is evangelism.

The man who is currently the lay youth leader was saved as a 15 year old in this church years ago and now is one of the core leaders in the church. We would love to see those kinds of results this week as well -- fruit that will remain.

Paul
