It's amazing what God uses to draw people to Himself. Since October we have been meeting in my apartment and anywhere from 4-6 kids would come each time. We couldn't really grow any bigger and our resources were limited. For recreation we had been playing board games and fun group games, but not all teens enjoy games like this. Recently, an organization who supports our ministry gave us two portable basketball hoops to use for Teen Ministry. We were able to use them for the first time last Friday! It was wonderful! 24 kids came and I really didn't have to advertise to many kids. Once I told a few, they told their friends. Kids who haven't come in about a year and kids that we don't even know showed up. They played their hearts out from 7pm-9:15pm. We stopped once to feed them. Later on in the night we gathered them in a half circle and shared with about the Father God's LOVE for them. 7 kids got saved and 2 boys stayed back for specific prayer over their lives. These kids LOVE basketball and playing it makes them come ALIVE, one of my favorite things to see...
