We have two great youth leaders in our church, Suzanne Kane and Deb Hanlon. They are great because they are encouraging our youth to make a difference. And they are stepping up to the plate.
They went to the march for life in DC where they used their voice to fight for those who’s voice has been taken.
They also have been doing homeless ministry in Newport. The first one was a vision from a few of the youth to do something different. Other groups do things for the homeless but it seems they do it one time here and there and there is such a need for more. They went to help keep the homeless warm. The second time they went was this past Sunday because they were so blessed by hanging out with the people they wanted to go and share lunch with them. The youth talk to them about their lives and about Jesus, they ask them to come to church, they ask them about their lives and how they got to be homeless, they pray for them and they remember their names. Our youth hug them, sit next to them, and hold thier hands because noone usually want to do that- they are representing Christ to these people.
This Faithfulness turns to favor. God’s name is glorified and lives are being changed!
