During the month of June we had the wonderful opportunity to
partner with a dynamic youth group from the New Horizons conference. Youth
Pastor Taylor Drake from Downtown Shawnee PH led his youth on a quest to
Nashville!
The Awakening team was waiting for them at the facilities of our friends from Mission 615 to engage in a weeklong service project. The teenagers were challenged to get out of their comfort zone and reach the least, the last and the lost. From services underneath the bridge, to walking the streets passing water and sandwiches. From washing the buses that transport the homeless to praying for people at a bus stop they spent their week sharing the love of Christ to this broken city.
One of the things that never gets old from The Awakening’s perspective is when we get the opportunity to witness the radical transformation that takes place in the lives of the teenagers and leaders that participate in these trips. Hearing their expectations at the beginning of the week and seeing the smiles on their faces when God completely surpasses what they were expecting! Seeing the spark when they realize that God can and will use them if they make themselves available!
Thank you for your prayers and support! We continue to see
lives changed by the power of the Holy Spirit and the week we spent with The
Fix serving the homeless in Nashville was no exception!
