I'm standing in the classroom listening to the power of God in a student's life. She is telling her story to my fellow Classroom Director, Koryn. Six of us shared our testimonies last night. It was surprising how diverse the testimonies were. I shared on doubt, and others shared on wreckless life, identity, porn, pride and family relationships, and drug addictions. It was a rich and thoughtful time.
Now, the time with 177 students is closing. They are returning to their homes for various events through the summer. Some will simply play video games while others change the world. Can we expect leadership from 16 year-olds? In a sense, yes. Not everyone will be a leader, but everyone is led by God in some respect. Some will excel into spheres needing Christians. Others will support their leaders well. Father in heaven, use these willing vessels greatly.
Hey Jason, I was just reading through your blog and saw what you were talking about leadership from youngsters. we had a speaker at my school that is really good and he was talking about how no matter what age you are you can lead, if the 18 year olds fail, then then the seventeen year olds lead if both, then the sixteen year olds and so on it was a great thing that he said that has helped some kids in my class grow closer to God and be stronger leaders
