Fine Arts Festival

Wow! Our students have some incredible talents. I have seen two of our students sing, one of our students having written one of those incredible songs, and another student preached his guts out for five minutes. What an incredible start!

There will be another day of performances tomorrow, with the majority of our group doing performances in their categories. These are more than just performances, though. This is training for ministry. These students are worshipping God with the talents and gifts that He has given to them.

I am so proud of you, Unite!!!

New Season

Man, what a crazy time these past couple of months have been. Here at Victory Church, we are getting ready to go into a new season. We are growing in Unite, as well as, in our big church. It is awesome that we are running out of room. So now, we are going to multiple services for our main service. This has been awesome because I have seen students and adults both stepping up and helping out. These people have full-time jobs and school, and yet, they are putting in the time and energy to make this thing happen.

I have been especially proud of our students. They have been putting in the time and energy that is needed to serve others above themselves. How awesome is that? No prodding or pushing by some nosey adult. On their own they have had the desire to serve others. This is where we are going to see the personal growth that so many people in the world say that teenagers are incapable of experiencing.

To every student that is stepping up and helping, I am so proud of what you are doing. Don't stop! You will see a reward far greater than you thought. It may take a while before you see it, but it will come.
