Amazing God Stuff
God continues to blow me away.
I have been helping with the Sr High youth here in Chatham. They have asked me to do most of the speaking. I am currently doing a 3 part series. Week 1 was last week-"A Radical View of God", tonite was week 2 -"A Radical View of You" and Week 3 will be -"A Radical View of others"
Tonite in preparation I was spending some time in prayer about what God wanted me to say, and just praying for the kids who would be there, and trying my best to listen for what God was saying. Well I really felt God wanted me to pray for a couple new people to come out. So I said "Ok God, If you would bring at least 2 new people who aren't Christians tonite that would be awesome!" (which is something else for Chatham which is often JUST church kids at youth)
So as 7pm rolls around I am at the church watching people come in, and sure enough one of the girls brought 2 of her friends from school!!!!
Tonite I talked about how "the chief end of man is toe glorify God..." I start with how amazingly we were created by God, and then moved on through 'the Fall' and how we were all 'dead in our sins' with no way to get back to God....This of course leading to 'the Cross' and the sacrifice of Christ and how we can all be made 'alive through Christ'.....And how it's only by Christ in us that we can glorify God.
anyways.....the point of all this is....at the end of the talk I gave opportunity for people to come to Christ if they had never done so, and two people decided to give their lives to Christ tonite!!! (along with 7 christian youth who said they need to 'get back to the cross' and want to live a life that truely glorifies God.
i asked God to bring two non-Christians, and I left praising God for two new additions to the Kingdom!! TO GOD BE THE GLORY!

You go bro! That is awesome!
Praise God! Keep up His good work, Kell!
Hey Kellen, It's great to how God is using you in Chatham. Did you hear the news? I heard on 100.3 last week that if anyone has tickets from last year's MWSmith concert at Wonderland that got cancelled, those same tickets can be used to get into the Jeremy Camp/Mercy Me concert at Wonderland on the second Saturday in June. DO YOU STILL HAVE THOSE TICKETS? (or did you ever actually get tickets, or were we to pick them up at the door?) I'm headed to that concert for sure, whether I have to pay or not - Julie & April are coming with me so far.
Praise the Lord Kellen, God is so awesome. Keep up the great work and He will continue to bless you abundantly.
