Wednesday Open Gym for Youth

On Wednesday evenings we open our gym to the community. We get around 15-35 youth each week most of whom are unchurched and have difficult home situations. We started last year having a 20 minute devotion time at the beginning. Then we began asking for prayer requests. The young people have responded very positively because they sense a caring community in the adult leaders. Over the last 3 Sundays 4 of the youth have begun attending our Worship Service on their own without parents. It has taken over a year to build those relationships to a point where they feel comfortable enough to worship with us. Faith, patience, love and perseverance have been fruitful for the Kingdom of God.
