Our Dream Team Rocks and Rolls

Today I am reminded how blessed I am to have so many dedicated people give so selflessly to the Student Ministry at BridgePointe.  I have begun referring to them as the Dream Team because honestly thats what they are.  I am a starting my third fall here at BridgePointe.  I think of all the stress, the late nights, the worry of "if this is going to work?" of that first year and then I look at the ministry now.   How it runs so amazingly well. With people stepping up into roles that we have dreamed together about.  Adults investing into young people knowing there names, birthdays, and truly care about their lives.  I am so blessed to be able to work with these men and women of God.  It is one of their birthday's today. This reminded me of how blessed I am to have such talented people to gain wisdom, knowledge, and insight from.  Thank you for caring and investing in the Kingdom of God.

Im going to use this word and I don't want to...

For the past couple of weeks things have, as the great theologian Ron Burgandy said, "Boy, that escalated quickly".  Student Life is experiencing something I have only dreamed about, something that I am hesitant to even talk about.  The word is Revival.  There has been such an outpouring of the Spirit in our times together.  It is unlike anything I have ever seen and to be honest I have hardly ever read about it.  The prayer time of our student's is powerful.  This past Wednesday I watched as our students led worship, led in praying for each other, and led in stepping out in faith.  I am amazed at how God is using them.    I am scared of using the word Revival.  It makes me seem outlandish or crazy, but for this moment, for these students, something special is happening and am so excited to be apart of it.  It is a revival in there lives and I pray that it takes hold in their families, school, and in this community.  Please join with me in prayer and fasting for this movement in the lives.

Something is happening

So in the last couple of weeks we split the Student Ministry into Fuel (Middle School) and Fusion (High School).  The biggest complaint I have heard is from a middle schooler saying they wanted to be fed during the middle of the week too!  (Btw that is awesome)  I love it when students want more Jesus!  In my time here at BridgePointe I have never had a student say I wish we had more games, its always we want more worship, more praying, more Bible Stuff!  These are complaints I will gladly deal with.

In the last couple of weeks we have had an outpouring of the Holy Spirit at our times together.  Things are happening, lives are being changed and the presence of God is being felt in the room with us.  God is honoring the longing of our hearts to see God move and to feel Him with us is.  I am blown away at the way God is meeting us.  I am always thinking about how can we come up with the next cool thing and then I realized I don't have to.  Nothing can compete with the presence of God.  No Xbox, no TV show, no sport, nothing can compete when God decides to show off.

So please join me in praying that God would continue to show Himself at Fuel and Fusion because something is happening here and I want to be apart of it and I think you do as well.
