I have been away from home the last 3 weekends, starting with the CFC-Youth North American Summit in Vancouver BC, MER3 in Canmore, AB the week after and then the SFC National Summit just this last weekend. There is no doubt at all that the future of CFC is so bright as long as we continue to support our youth and our young adults.
The mission has become so personal to me. At the SFC Summit, I was given a glimpse of the brightest future ever, our hope and prayer that our children will continue to stay on this path that we had started for them. I asked my son Jak-jak to worship with us at the opening worship. During the slow song, I heard sniffles coming from him and I thought he just had a cold. But when I had another look, he was closing his eyes, his hands clasped together in prayer and he was crying. What an amazing sight. Later, we asked him why he was crying, he told us that he missed God.
Yes, I am here in this community to serve God but it has become personal for me, seeing my kids grow up in the community, I am truly convicted, that CFC can change the world, and CFC can win the world for Christ.
Lord, thank you for never giving up on us and for drawing us closer to you through this beautiful community. I pray for our children that the community will not only be a stage in their life but it will be their way of life. In you mighty name I pray, AMEN!
