Screaming at the top of their lungs!

Do you remember when you were a kid and there was that one person that you always wanted to be around and that you looked up to? The youth of today are looking for that kind of person to! They may not be able to find it in their friends or their family, but they are seeming to find it in the media. When the find that person in the media they look up to them and put them on a pedestal that sometimes may not be that healthy. So my challenge for us, as adults, is to give the youth of today people that they can look up to, that can set realistic goals, that can show them that we are human and not just dolled up people that look and are made out to be perfect.

These students are ready for change, they're ready to be shown who true Christians are, they're ready to be shown that it is okay to mess up. The issue is not them acting out like many of us may think, the issue is them wanting attention from the people that they look up to. They are like a little child screaming at the top of their lungs, crying out, wanting someone to help them. They need our guidance and our love. There may have been times when we were younger when the people around us looked at us and thought that we were not worth it or really annoying. But the truth is, THESE STUDENTS ARE SO WORTH IT!!!!



When the "Baby Boomers" are dead and gone, when "Generation X" is dead and gone, the ones who will be left are my generation and the youth of today, and in my opinion they SHOULD NOT be left in the dark. It is up to us to show them the path that Christ has laid out for us. Granted there may be a few that falter and lose their footing, but we need to be right there for them and pick them up when the fall and show them that they are worth it!

This video is my prayer for these students. It may sound contradictory to what I'm saying in the beginning, but PLEASE continue to listen until the end...IT'S WORTH IT!!!!



JOIN IN THE FIGHT FOR THESE STUDENTS LIVES!!!!

THEY'RE READY....ARE YOU?
