Yesterday I visited a church that was having a testimony day. Church members had been asked to pray about their purpose in the church. Several people stood up to speak, and had some great testimonies!
Two testimonies came from the youth group. These testimonies really struck me.
The first girl stood up and said that she had not been able to be in church the past few weeks, but her purpose was to learn and to be an example to others.
The next girl, not quite 13 walked up to the front bouncing nervously. She said, "My purpose is to invite friends to church." Then she bounced back to her seat.
The statements struck me for a few reason. First of all, these were teenagers who didn't see the challenge for the adults in the church only. Also, I know that the younger girl goes to a Christian school, something that would tempt many to just assume her friends know Christ.
Thank God for teenagers who are seeking to live for Christ! May they be encouraged in the same way that they have encouraged me.
