Lo, children are an heritage of the LORD: and the fruit of the womb is his reward. As arrows are in the hand of a mighty man; so are children of the youth. Happy is the man that hath his quiver full of them: they shall not be ashamed, but they shall speak with the enemies in the gate. (Psalms 127:3-5 KJV)

Youth are not only the heritage of the Church, but youth are also one of the Church's weapons for spiritual battle. The world is actively recruiting youth into their ranks with the wiles of the devil.

I want to see our youth excited about church, filled up with the Holy Ghost, and reaching out to their communities for Christ. We must unite and work together for this common goal!

In that day shall the fair virgins and young men faint for thirst.(Amos 8:13 KJV)

There are hungry and thirsty youth in this world, and the ONE and only Bread and Water of life will truly satisfy them. We have the answer and must utilize our youth to the fullest.

This world has gone through much trouble and expense to entice the youth of this generation. How much more should we reach out and give our young people a Godly atmosphere to have fun, grow, and mature in.

Please join me not only in prayer, but also in action to reach the youth of this district for Christ.
