This encourages me so very, very much! Our future is our YOUTH! Glory! How is your Church doing with ministering to the youth of your community? Sunday school? Baptisms? What is your Church doing as far as an outreach program?

FORT WORTH, Texas (BP) – Millions of elementary through college students gathered at flag poles on their campuses yesterday in the U.S. and 63 other countries to pray in the student-led “See You at the Pole” initiative in its 33rd year.
The early sunrise, clouds and rains variously served as the backdrop for social media photos attesting to student participation.
“We surprisingly had parents fighting against it for the first time here in Byron, Ill.,” Bethany Collins Hardy wrote. “That prompted more teens/kids to come and the police as well to support our right to publicly pray. We had at least 80 show up.”
“South Carolina, grateful for the freedom to gather in the name of Jesus,” Nicole Young-Cline posted from Myrtle Beach.
“It was storming terribly this morning,” Wendie Holcomb posted, “so Buffalo High School in Buffalo, Texas had See You in the Library!”
“1st Pray” is the theme for this year’s event, based on 1 Timothy 2:1, engaging students in prayer for a variety of concerns including schools, communities, friends and classmates.
