Madeline Lafferty Preaches at Mississippi Conference Teen Camp

The Awakening's very own, Madeline Lafferty was invited to speak at the Mississippi Conference teen camp during the last week of May. Other members of The Awakening team accompanied Maddie to Mississippi and served the camp in several different capacities.

Hailing from the Mississippi conference, Maddie was honored to share the Gospel with students who were sitting where she sat not so very long ago. 

We are proud of Maddie and the entire Awakening Team that also participated in the Mississippi Conference camp!

The Awakening hosts Heartland Youth Pastor Breakfast

On May 17th, The Awakening had the privilege to host a breakfast for the youth pastors and leaders from the Heartland conference. Teaming up with the heartland conference youth pastor, Woody Burpo,  The Awakening was able to provide a morning full of fellowship and ministry.

Youth Pastors Stephen Jones (NC) and Adrian Mostella (AL) were guest speakers at the breakfast. They spoke to the guests about dealing with struggles in ministry, how to stay healthy while ministering and the importance of a larger community. They emphasized that youth pastors can not succeed as one-man (or woman!) teams and that they desperately need fellowship.

We loved being able to interact with the Heartland youth pastors and give back to them in a small way.

The Awakening visits The Element in OKC

By Dreama Bryant

On September 18, The Awakening had the awesome privilege of ministering at The Element's Wednesday night youth service!  With September being named 'missions month' Youth Pastor Woody Burpo has  been speaking on different ways to spread the love of Christ. The Awakening band lead praise and worship and we had a great time in the presence of the Lord! Max preached a message entitled "A Walk to Remember" and challenged everyone to get to know God personally and then share Him with the world! The altar time was very powerful as many who wanted to be used by God came to the front for prayer! We had such a great time hanging out with The Element and encouraging them in missions!
