Hey Element Church! I got an email today from someone and asked for permission to share it on the blog. They agreed as long as I didn’t use their name. I LOVE hearing stories like this. It’s what it is all about. Enjoy!
Pastor Jeff,
I wanted to let you know that I was inspired by your message on Sunday. I just started reading “The Barbarian Way” the day before. The two really go hand in hand. As such, I used the same passage you shared (Jn 10:1-10) and shared it with the kids at the juvenile facility (J.C. Wardle Academy) east of town Sunday afternoon. I spent most of the time on “getting out of the pen” utilizing quotes from chapter one of the book. God did His thing, and eight kids prayed to accept Christ, and eight more prayed to rededicate their lives to Christ – they want to “follow the heart of their King!” Praise God for the power of His amazing Holy Spirit to do great works in the lives of these young people.
WOW! Praise the Lord. There is nothing more exciting to me than seeing people accept Jesus! NOTHING! And when we can be a part of it “outside the pen” it’s even more exciting to me. Keep up the good work.
Excited,
Jeff
