Well I'm hoping this is a short one.
You know Caleb, in the Bible? You know how he looked over and saw the promised land. How he and Joshua were ready to go with God but the rest of the people were afraid and Joshua and Caleb had to wait 40 years until the people were dead. Then their children with Caleb and Joshua were allowed to see the fruition of the vision...
That's the story, my story and I'm in year 3 of 40.
In short, there was an incredible move of the Holy Spirit on the young people of my church. They became evangelist for Jesus. (I'm tearing up just to think about it). It was one of the most beautiful things you would ever see on this earth. Youth reaching youth! 12,13,---17,18,--20,21 year olds and on and on. Inner city one time knuckle-heads now coming to Jesus Christ. Baby girls reaching baby girls and the GUYS...!
O.K. you get the picture. But my church didn't. At least not the same picture or vision I was getting. The church leaders, all but a very few, let's just say the enemy used them in ways that maybe they were unaware of, and the ministry came to a gut wrenching halt.
That's the short version and I'm a little weary even from telling that much - please pray.
