Well today the focus for the day was on "hurting" people...and that does not mean actually hurting one another but rather seeing the needs of others that are struggling in some way.
Zach Hunter the teenage student who has lead a movement to stop slavery came to the morning Rally and shared his passion for teenagers to step up and make a difference in our world today!
We had about 8 students and 2 leaders go and help with a Service Project this afternoon while the others took advantage of the seminars and workshops here at the Convention Center.
Another cool thing that happened today was that Aaron Johnson and I took part in the Student Prayer Army that meets before our evening Rally at 5:42pm. 1,500 students and adults gathered to lift up the evening rally in prayer! So if you remember at 6:52pm each night you can join us in prayer for the evening Rallies! We are praying for 2,500 students and adults gathering in prayer each evening.
One more cool story about the Service Projects. A ministry called the Dream Center we are supporting by helping them be a place where people in the city can come and receive food, clothing, etc. Some students were pulling weeds and cleaning up around the area and a local business man stopped to see what was going on and talked with the director of the Center to hear what it was all about. Well after hearing the vision of the center the businessman wrote a check for $30,000.00! Is that God or what? It started by students being willing to serve the community we are a part of this week!
