So I was talking to a good friend earlier tonight about the annual event that was held at the youth group at my church. Terror maze. They pretty much took over the whole church and transformed it to a scary, halloweenish maze with a bunch of activities for the kids to play around in. It's our church's version of celebrating halloween - what better way to present the Gospel at the end of the maze. She told me that 1700 kids came and went through the maze, but the number that put a big grin on my face was 600. 600 kids took Christ into their lives for the 1st time or made recommitments to God in those 2 nights (Wednesday and Friday).
The time I spent while I was back home for fall break was mostly at my church. I was there 5 out of the 10 days I was at home. I helped build the terror maze and I wouldn't trade the time I spent at home for anything else. My hard work setting up and doing MAN work (haha) was worth the effort and was for something amazing. Even though I was a little sad that I wasn't there for the maze itself, I was there in spirit and I gave my time to the Lord for His glory.
...I think I also wrote my name on one of the foam boards.
Praise God for what He's doing at my church and I'm so blessed to be a part of it.
These kids never cease to amaze me.
I tell you that in the same way there will be more rejoicing in heaven over one sinner who repents than over ninety-nine righteous persons who do not need to repent. [Luke 15:7]
