Samarkand Manor YDC

From Colleen:

We had a small group (only 4) minister at Samarkand on Sunday, but it was an opportunity for more intimate discussion and teaching with the students there. Chrystal and Eric were both able to share a bit (both talked about the lasting change brought by Jesus...not planned ahead of time, I love that!) Thanks Holy Ghost! Denea also ministered and played her always requested "Change Me" song...there was definitely a theme.
One young man brought out pictures he had drawn of Jesus on the cross and a warrior angel. What an awesome gift God has given him...we are praying that it will continue to be used for God's glory!

Because we only have 1 hour and 15 minutes with each group, one on one time is usually limited. However, we had almost 30 minutes to talk with the girls in the second service; time that is so valuable to really understand the girls and show them how valuable they are. We talked about goals (finishing school, moving on to college, resisting temptation, etc.) and prayed for them to be complete in the lives Jesus has purchased for them with his precious blood. We know the words we speak can encourage them to seek God, and the Word is God. We are always praying that these teens will have a true encounter with the One who doesn't just speak life but GIVES life.

Thank you all so much for your prayers and support!
