Investing in the Next Generation

The sun is out today! It's a happy day! :)

This coming Thursday through Saturday, I will be ministering at the Penn-Del District Friends & Girls Only Retreat at the Philip Bongiorno Conference Center in Carlisle, Pennsylvania.  For those of you who are not familiar with these programs, they are the junior and senior high school ministries to girls in the Assemblies of God.  I love investing in the next generation!  What a wonderful privilege to be able to preach and interact with these young ladies.  To be able to help strengthen and solidify their relationship with Jesus...that is priceless!  Please pray that the Lord will bless this retreat with His mighty presence and that all will receive a touch from Him.  Also pray for the many who will be traveling tomorrow because they are calling for strong thunderstorms.

I'm reading through the Book of Daniel.  A verse in the first chapter caught my eye this morning.  Daniel 1:8 says, "But Daniel purposed in his heart that he would not defile himself..."  Did you catch that?  Daniel was saying, "it doesn't matter what everyone else is doing, I want to please the Lord."  That is exactly how I feel.  We live in a day and age where anything goes.  May God raise up Christians in this generation who have a backbone to follow hard after the Lord no matter what everyone else does.  My heart has purpose because Jesus gives true life.

Blessings to you all.
