This Wednesday is the time when students from all over the nation take time to gather around their flagpoles to for one common purpose . . . prayer! This year’s theme is ‘Come Together’. While there are many things that can divide people, prayer should be something that brings us together.
I hope you’ll take advantage of this great opportunity to gather, unite, and pray with other Christians on your campus.
We’d love to see photos of your school’s event. In fact, we’re planning to put together a video for our service this Wednesday showing some of the happenings of See You at the Pole at various campuses. If you or someone you know could take some photos at your event … you can email them to us at syatp@refugenow.org or bring them on a disk or USB drive to Refuge before 6:00 p.m. and we’ll try to include them in the video.
This weekend around 30 of us from Refuge spent Friday and Saturday at the NC Assemblies of God Youth Convention in Winston-Salem, NC.
The theme was “Sacrifice”. Speakers talked about sacrificing your life for the sake of Christ by choosing to live your life for Him rather than yourself. They also talked about making sacrifices in your life in order to give to others through ministries like Speed-the-Light Missions.
Sacrifice is not something most people jubilantly sign up for … yet God does call us to live a life of sacrifice.
What are you willing to sacrifice for the sake of Christ?
What does sacrifice mean to you? Post your thoughts!
Tell us your convention experiences and stories!
How did you do on the mechanical bull? What were the services like? How did God impact your life? How will you be different when you go home?
Last Wednesday our challenge at Refuge was to serve God by serving others. We looked at the Scripture in Matthew 10 that says that anyone who even offers a cold cup of water to someone will not lose his reward. We also read another verse in that same chapter that said that because we have freely received from God . . . we should freely give.
We closed our night by giving everyone a small bottle of water to take and use as a conversation starter with someone. To share your faith, invite someone to church, open a door to pray for someone, or to befriend someone.
We’d love to hear any stories from you about what happened with your water bottle and how you were able to encourage, witness, or pray for someone.
