90 Day Challenge...
I pray that out of His glorious riches He may strengthen you with power through
His Spirit in your inner being, so that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith.
And I pray that you, being ROOTED and ESTABLISHED in love,
may have power, together with all the saints,
to grasp how wide and long and high and deep is the love of Christ,
and to know this love that surpasses knowledge
that you may be filled to the measure of all the fullness of God.
Ephesians 3:16-19
To say that I'm proud of them would be a HUGE understatment!!! These students commited back in May to read through the entire New Testament, Psalms, and Proverbs in 90 days. It was a tough challenge...I know because I joined in on the fun!
We started off with about forty students...and it dwindled as the summer blazed into activity. But every Monday night...starting in June...we had at least fifteen students show up on our doorstep - ready to dive into the Word and share what God was showing them through their reading. It was an incredible time of growth, fellowship, and fun.
This last Friday night marked the end of the challenge. We threw a party to celebrate all that God had done through His faithfulness and His Word. In total we had fifteen students that completed the challenge. And what an accomplishment it was! (Personally...to be completely honest...I made it to Revelation by Friday - so I was a little behind! :-0)
Tacos were on the menu...as well as a "make-your-own-sundae" bar! Tyler and Amy were thrilled to be part of the celebration! And as always, they were excited to be a part of the "big-kids"!
Jackson loved all the attention - not to mention - the ICE CREAM!
After the dessert, the kids sat around and shared what God had done through this challenge. It was humbling for Jason and I to listen to their maturity, their faith, and their commitment to God's Word! We are praying that this will just be the catalyst for their excitement and they will continue in their thirst for God's Word.
