Ministry Update.
We are trying to get the Youth to understand the importance of Scripture Memorization. So we are going to give them a challenge. Memorizing Spripture verse by verse chapter by chapter. Oddly enough it makes it easier. So we are going to come up with a reward for doing so. I think that we will start with the John Chapter 1. This way we have something that they can all learn. For in John we see Jesus is fully God and not just His Son. So important for today. So be in prayer for this.
Also we are starting Awana very soon. So be praying that everything will run smoothly and God will bless it.
For the sake of the gospel,
Mike
Hey Mike,
ReplyDeleteNoticed your post on helping youth understand the importance of scripture memorization and thought I'd send a link to www.OneNineteenEleven.com. It's a brand new company a few friends and I started dedicated to "Strengthening student's faith, one verse at a time through scripture memorization"
It's directed right at youth and we've got a free 4 week curriculum you might like to check out. It's designed to help students understand why scripture memorization is important and challenge them to develop this spiritual discipline. We call it The 11911 Challenge and you can find the curriculum on our website here: http://www.onenineteeneleven.com/the-11911-challenge/
Love the fact that you are pushing kids to hide God's Word in their hearts!
We believe the importance of strengthening students faith through scripture memorization because we believe when students know the truth found in God’s Word and, have hidden it deep in their hearts, they have a much better chance of avoiding the pitfalls and roadblocks they will encounter as they grow in their faith and life and will put them in a position to enjoy the freedom and abundant life God wants for them.
Let me know if you have any trouble finding the curriculum or have any questions about it or OneNineteenEleven.
