Encouraged

I am really encouraged by what God has been doing at U-Turn this year! We started out with 3 teens in January, and now we are at a consistent 12 teens! Not only are they consistent, but they also are really growing in their walks with the Lord. They are faithfully showing up, asking challenging questions, and encouraging us (the leaders). One of our guys, Demetrius, will regularly come up to me and quote a song lyric or scripture that he is encouraged by. Another named Damani, will consistently ask me deep theological questions as he prepares to attend Moody in the fall. Just the other day I turned on a popular Christian hip-hop song and all the teens went crazy and started singing the lyrics word-for-word! What a testimony to the Lord that they are singing that instead of the garbage the media is feeding them. Needless to say, I’m more blessed by them then they could ever know.
