After three years in Wiesbaden, I still am always suprised by how God works in students hearts. In the past 5 days we have had two of our High School boys come to know the Lord personally. Both have been attending our youth group for a while but have never made a decision for Christ.
Story 1- Saterday Night Church
Last Sat. night our youth group band was asked to be a part of a local German youth rally, Saterday night church. This SNC is a movent across Germany were local churches from different denominations get together and have worship and speaker share the Gospel. The SNC rally we were apart of was both German and American churches. How powerful it was to be singing and hearing German and English being sung at the same time!!
We took about 10 students from our youth group. One of the students was "Bob". Honestly I was suprised Bob was coming. I have heard stories of his partying and never has seemed to have any instrest in anything spiritaul. But he came. After the program Jim (my co-worker) came up to him and saw he had tears in his eyes. Jim talked with him for a while and they prayeed together soon afterwards. I will never forget Sheldon coming downstairs with Jim and walking up to me to tell me. There were groups hugs and cheers! It was so fun to watch our other students welcome him to the FAMILY of GOD!
Story 2-
Last night at youth group, we talked about forgiveness, offering and recieving it. We had students lead our small groups, which is always powerful. At the end of the night the students were to write some things or names of those who they need to forgive or be forgiven on a notecard. The notecard was eventually thrown into a fire. After we all finished one of our boys, "Andrew" went and found Jim. And he gave his life to the Lord! It's amazing to see how God's forgiveness is so much more powerful than our hurts and lacking to forgive others!
