I was floating thru the great world of facebook tonight and I stumbled across a very well done video out of Nashville. The clip highlights the heartbeat of the ministry of Young Life. Though many informational type videos have been made about the ministry, I feel this one is very current and applicable to most audiences. So before I go any further, I will let the rest of the story be told by the narrator of the short film. I encourage you to rest for the next 10 minutes and let God move in your heart.
“Dear Lord,
Give us the teenagers that we may lead them to Thee. Our hearts ache for the millions of young people who remain untouched by the Gospel and for the tragically large proportion of those who have dropped by the wayside and find themselves without spiritual guidance. Help us to give them a chance, oh Father, a chance to become aware of thy Son’s beauty and healing power in the might of the Holy Spirit. Oh, Lord Jesus, give us the teenagers, each one at least long enough for a meaningful confrontation with Thee. We are at best unprofitable servants, but thy grace is sufficient. Oh, thou Holy Spirit, give us the teenagers. For we love them and know them to be awfully lonely. Dear Lord, give us the teenagers.” - Jim Rayburn
