Last night I was invited to speak at a back to school youth rally. My friend and a former student Jeremy Beauford gave me this opportunity. He and his wife Holly are serving in downtown Gvegas at Calvary First Baptist. Under Jeremy's leadership the church has converted a store front and named it "The Barracks." It has a cool military vibe and the kids seem to really like it. Jeremy has a passion for youth far from God and is truly serving in the trenches.
I drove myself because Cheryl, my regular driver, was attending a "girls" night. I didn't mind because I needed the time to study. If you saw a gray Tacoma swerving down Hwy. 25, it was me looking at my notes. The elements of the evening were the normal youth stuff: pizza, youth workers that are pretty much adults that got kicked out of adult Sunday School, 70 to 80 kids made up of churched and unchurched, loud music and the message. God took a guy serving in the trenches and all of those elements and changed seven youth's eternity. I loved it! Jeremy, the army of God needs more guys like you. Do you know anybody serving in the trenches? Get in touch with them this week and let them know how incredible they are.
