“The Spirit of the Sovereign Lord is on me,
because the Lord has anointed me to preach good news to the poor.
He has sent me to bind up the brokenhearted,
To proclaim freedom for the captives and release from darkness for the prisoners.
Isaiah 61:1
When Temple Baptist church returned from camp they decided to preach the good news, to bind up the brokenhearted and to proclaim freedom. They did this by hosting a 40 night youth revival showered with prayer, scripture and outreach. This youth group stretched Beyond camp and into a revival which made everlasting impacts in lives of many youths.
Over the 40 days of revival Temple Baptist’s youth group invited many people to hear the Gospel of Christ. One night they received several players from a local football team and that night 15 of those players decided to hand thier lives over to Jesus Christ.
On Aug. 23 there was a large baptismal service held for the players resulting in a large number of high school students hearing the good news of the Gospel. The youth group asks for continuous prayer that the Lord will work and more will be saved by this example of trust and obedience to the Lord.
The work of Temple Baptist church is so encouraging to all of us who are still working and seeking ways to go Beyond. Allow this youth’s groups passion to restore your desire to go Beyond. I encourage you to keep trusting in Him, keep walking in faith, allow God to work through you and see what Christ can do in your life and the lives of others!
