what’s happening

Just wanted to share with everyone about some awesome things that happened last night at AXIS youth.

Just wanted to share with you a few things that have happened this past week to bring a little encouragement your way:

First of all last Thurs night at the Young adult/college meeting, Ethan and the others stepped out in  faith and prayed for healing for one individual who was experiencing pain in his shoulder.  In fact, his pain was so bad he could not lift it so his arm was horizontal to the floor.  Ethan led the way and encouraged the others to pray with him.  The individual then tried to move his arm and God restored the movement to full capacity with no pain!!!  Even last Sunday I asked him how his shoulder was and he said it felt great!  Praise God!

Then, last Sunday after 2nd service a student came up to me during the prayer time and asked if I could pray for her left eye.  It was red and puffy and she said something was wrong with a blood vessel in her eye that was causing pain in her eye and a scratchy feeling.  I prayed for her and when she opened her eye, the puffyness and redness was gone!  She said the pain was gone as she was grinning ear to ear.  She appeared to be shocked that God would heal her so fast.

Friends, we serve a wonderfully powerful and loving God.

I am writing this from Salt Lake City.  We are on our way back from our first Jesus Culture conference in Redding, CA.  

God has been moving mightily among the youth!  On this trip, we have experienced many things including healings, words of knowledge, visions, salvations, and baptisms in the Spirit!  As we are on our way home we are excited about sharing what has been experienced.  What is even more exciting is what is still in store for the future!  We have to hit the road right now, so I gotta go.  I’ll write more later!

We are currently in the midst of our Just Walk Across The Room campaign. I’d love to hear your stories of walking across the room to others or of someone walking across the room to you.  You may want to withhold actual names, if you feel they may not want their name mentioned.  Yet, feel free to include names appropriately, as a way of affirming those who God used in your life.  Add your story in the comments section of this post.  You’ll need an account, which is free and easy to get, just click here to get started.

Last night was Great! We had a ton of fun, the games were awesome (thanks Tom), and God took over the service and did what He wanted to do! All of you that were there probably have your own unique perspective of what was happening. Worship was incredible last night (thanks Dustin and Erica), and it is great to have a team of musicians that can flow with where God is leading. God is calling us as individuals and as a group to a life of holiness, a life that is so much greater than what we have today. His plans for us are bigger and better than we realize, and He is powerful enough to meet all our needs!

Feel free to add to this blog any of your own experiences from last night or any comments or questions you might have. Be Blessed!

I had an awesome conversation with one of the girls from our children’s ministry today.  With in the last 6 months she has started attending Radiant, accepted Jesus Christ as her Lord and Savior and has been water baptized. She is passionate follower of Jesus Christ! I knew that she has been stepping out in faith and  witnessing to the children in her apartment complex every time an opportunity arises so I called her today and to ask how everything was going and what she told me just blew me away. She has started a prayer meeting with the children in her apartment building. They meet on a regular basis, bring their Bibles and pray for each other needs. She also told me that there are two brothers (the youngest is 4) who would fight all the time. She told them that Jesus loves them and that they are brothers and should love each other too. They then apologized, gave each other a hug and haven’t fought since. She keeps inviting them to church and is praying that one day they will come. This is just one example of how kids are rising up to be passionate followers of Jesus Christ. 

Pastor Scott, 

Wow! God is doing great and mighty things in the lives of children. We are seeing children becoming passionate followers of Him - Xtreme Children Igniting The Earth. Just over the last four months we have seen over 50 children pray for salvation. We have seen twenty children make a decision to be water baptized. We are seeing children reaching out and desiring more of God. And we are seeing children impacting their world and becoming evangelist in their neighborhoods and schools. It is incredible! The Bible states, “a little child shall lead them”. And children are rising up, becoming passionate followers of Jesus Christ, and I believe, will begin igniting a revival that will sweep throughout their family, school, neighborhood, across this city, through out the nation, and around the world!

Praise God…He is awesome!  Last night was a wonderful night in AXIS.  We had the honor of having the Fusion service join us and be a part of worshipping God.  Both adults and students were entering into worship and it was great to have a full house in there!  The message focused in on “humility” (following Pastor Todd’s message last Sunday).  The title was “Between Timidity and Pride”.  the main example was the story of Gideon and how he moved from a place of being Timid to being humble.  God also stripped him of any pride to keep him in the place of humility.  There was a powerful video testimony from the Jesus Culture website that illustrated the power of God in action when we place ourselves in the position of humility.  Ruth got up in the end and gave an altar call.  We had about 6 students come forward for prayer and I know at least 3 of them were filled with the Holy Spirit!  Adults came forward to pray over them as well as other students.  It was a great time of seeking more of the Lord.  He made Himself real to many people last night.

Last Wed night we had a wonderful time worshipping in our youth AXIS service.  We were able to pray over a student who had just been informed of the loss of a family member.  The other students readily surrounded her, laid hands on her and prayed over her.  That then opened up a wonderful time of testimony of what God is doing in the lives of students.  There was testimony after testimony of God’s amazing love and power!  Praise God!
