Full Heart--Full Altar

Last night we had a major victory at The Stand. Our students are still learning what it is like to have their own service and we have seen many small victories over the last several weeks. But last night was amazing!!!

The theme of the night was "Great Big God--Even Bigger Love." We talked about how it doesn't make since that such an amazingly huge God would love us. Very basic message but something that we often forget at Christmas season.

Long story short...At the end of the night I invited the students to come to the altar (which they have NEVER done before) and thank God was such and amazing love.
I stepped down off the stage and began to pray at the altar and next thing I know the presence of God is THICK and the altar is completely FULL with students. These students have never done anything like this before, not even one student has come up front to pray, BUT the presence of God was thick and they had to respond. No gimmicks, no emotional play, JUST students wanting God!!!!

Praise God for this victory!
And what a great set-up of 09'

Keep Praying for your students...it really matters!!!!

Lovingly Cheering You On!!!!
