It’s almost the middle of May! This also means we have 7 Sundays (or 7 Weeks) to “reach out to and root in” 240 teens – teens who would call Acts Church their Home. I am still convinced that 240 is POSSIBLE!
Some of us might say, it’ll take nothing short of a miracle to get there. I say, well, bring it on! While Jesus walked on earth, miracles were a norm. In his 3 years of ministry, Jesus did so many miracles it couldn’t possible be recorded!
John 21:25 – “And there are also many other things that Jesus did, which if they were written one by one, I suppose that even the world itself could not contain the books that would be written. Amen.”
Then, before He went to the Cross, He told His disciples:-
John 14:12 - "Most assuredly, I say to you, he who believes in Me, the works that I do he will do also; and greater works than these he will do, because I go to My Father."
I believe that promise is for us as well. And, yes, I do believe in miracles!
Do you believe that God can perform a miracle for Acts Teens?
Do you believe that God can give us hundreds, & even thousands of radical Jesus-lovin’ teens?
If we believe that God CAN bring the 240... If we believe that God CAN save your friends... If we believe that God CAN revive your backslidden buddies... Then, I think we would also go all out to call, invite, and bring our friends. It is because we believe so much that God can, that it leads us to do something about it – something that is based on God’s Ability (God CAN), and not just ours. We will call, invite, bring – because we know that, because God CAN, every call & invitation will bring forth fruit…because God CAN!
2 Fridays ago (Apr 30, 2010), we saw 110 teens attend 2 unofficial “Home Parties."
This Friday, we are going to have 4 official Home Parties…
This Friday, and in the 7 Weeks to come… may I strongly encourage YOU and YOUR TEAM/HOMIES to go all out and pray for, call, invite, bring friends. Please help me mobilize EVERYONE! I really believe that if we ACT on our belief, that God can, then God can and will do it through and for us!
