God.Life.Leadership

It has been so cool this past few weeks at Fuse seeing students really own the ministry.  Last night Amber Bruce spoke and from what I heard killed it.  She has so much passion not only for God but also for seeing her generation change the world.

This year at FUSE is going to be about students owning the ministry…Worship, Praying, Preaching, Leading, Devo Groups, Media and anything else we can think of…..I am so honored to be a part of what God is doing in the lives of these students…..I can not wait to see what else happens this year.

Proud of you Amber

I have been a student pastor for 3 years now and I can honestly say that last week was the best service ever.  It was not the biggest service ever we did not do anything crazy over the top, but it was amazing because we had students own it.  The band that night was lead by an all student worship team (thanks to the amazing Lindsey Carter) and they absolutely killed it.  It is so neat seeing students lead other students in worship and that all of them respond better that way.

We then had a student come up and give an amazing spoken word that got all of the students pumped up for the last worship song….This student will also be preaching this week at FUSE which I am super excited about.

Then to top all of that off a 15 year old by the name of Kyle Kitzman preached a 20 minute message that was awesome.  He told his testimony and how God had carried him through so many difficult times in his and it is truly amazing what God has done in him.  Then Kyle when on to share the three things he has learned in facing hard times.

1.  Continue to trust God

2.  Spend time with God

3.  Keep a good attitude

It was a great sermon from a student that has an amazing call of God on his life, but then the truly amazing thing was how much it caused all of the students in small groups to open up.

Alex, Jeremy, Lina, Corey, Amber, and Kyle…..I am so proud of all of you
