Prayers for the Last Week: 3

Tonight:

-Pray for Momentum Leadership. That we finish our planning strong.

-Pray for our spiritual lives. That we would not neglect time with God this week. Also, that we would be aware of spiritual attacks. Satan is not happy about Momentum and I'm sure He will let us know this week.

-Pray for our sanity as we put the finishing touches on this event.

"Let us not become weary in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up." Eph 6:9

Prayers for the Last Week: 2

Tonight: 

Pray for those who will attend Momentum. We desire that every lost soul would be saved, and that each young person would choose abstinence.

Pray that God would begin to work on their hearts before they enter the building.

Pray that God's word would convict their hearts, resulting in changed lives.

"For the word of God is living and active, sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing to the division of soul and of spirit, of joints and of marrow, and discerning the thoughts and intentions of the heart." Hebrews 4:12

Prayers for the Last Week: 1

1) Tonight I ask that you pray for Coy Hollingshead. Coy is our speaker for both nights.
                     --Pray that he will be diligent in preparing
                 --Pray that his heart will be open to what God
                 has for Momentum
             
Of course, these are just a couple of suggestions....We are so excited that Coy has joined our team; and we look forward to what God is going to do through him!

“Stand firm.  Let nothing move you.  Always give yourselves fully to the work of the Lord, because you know that your labor in the Lord is not in vain,”  1 Corinthians 15:58

Let the Count Down Begin!

Today is officially one week until Momentum.

 Ahhh just writing that makes me excited.

Momentum was just a dream this past May. Now, eight months later we are about to see the fruit of our labor. Honestly, I think all of us would say that apart from God this thing would still be just a far off dream. Every attempt we have made at doing things our way has failed. Seriously, every time. Originally, Momentum was set to be a summer event. *What were we thinking?* Here we are having Momentum in the dead of winter. We had our ideas of speakers, of sponsors, and of fundraisers. Many of our ideas were divinely reshaped or instigated. He has used our strengths and weakness all for His glory. We can genuinely and humbly say God has planned Momentum from the beginning. It has been our honor to be His hands and feet in this event.

Guys, we still NEED you.

Volunteers...Volunteers...Volunteers!!!

We need people to make this happen. Please, if you think you can be a help to us the 23rd, 24th or both, let us know!!

Prayer. Please, lift us, this event, and its attendees up in prayer this week.

My goal this week is to blog a specific prayer request every day. So, stay tuned!

"In his heart a man plans his ways, but the Lord determines his steps" Psalm 16:9 (That's me quoting it, may be a little off) ;)

~Photo Shoot Results~

The amount raised for Jan 8th photo shoot was....Drum Roll Please.....$200!!

Thank you to everyone who came out in the freezing cold weather and supported us!

We are only a week and a half away from Momentum!! Eek!

Continue praying guys! We want to see lives changed.

 Please pray for the hearts of those who will be in attendance> First, for lives to be committed to Christ. Second, for lives to be committed to abstinence. Pray that we would use wisdom in making the minor decisions left to be made. Pray for peace vs stress

We are so thankful to God for this amazing opportunity to be a part of and to have a front row view of what God is going to do the 23rd and 24th.

May He be glorified!

God Be Glorified

Tonight was our latest volunteer meeting for Momentum. We met at Blackbird @ 6:00 Downstairs. Next week we will be meeting again, same time and same place. Tonight was really awesome. We discussed in detail where we are in our planning, and how far we have left to go before the 23rd. At times it all seems overwelming. Then it on nights like tonight, we are reminded that we are NOT the ones in control.

God is so wonderful! He has left us stunned and humbled.

One "obstical" we had was our dream to do a certain skit on night two. We had no clue how we were going to assemble a team and practice enough to do the skit successfully. Tonight in the meeting the idea was mentioned as something we hoped to accomplish. Of course, you know how God works. He had His plan already in motion. It so happens that our speaker's, Coy Hollinshead, youth had performed the skit numerous times. Well, you get the picture> They will be doing a certain skit night two of Momentum!!

Our Needs:

> You
      - Pray!
          - For us! We are counting down the days!
          - For youth that will attend!

Great is the Lord and most worthy of praise; his greatness no one can fathom. One generation will commend your works to another; they will tell of your mighty acts. They will speak of the glorious splendor of your majesty, and I will meditate on your wonderful works. They will tell of the power of your awesome works, and I will proclaim your great deeds. They will celebrate your abundant goodness and joyfully sing of your righteouness. Psalm 145:3-7
