Our area youth pastors linked up to host an event called Blaze at our church in Waconia, MN. I was a grill guy so got to help with cooking burger and hotdogs for about 200 kids 6-12th grade. They had the big bounce things, supper, a concert and a gospel focused illusionist presentation by John Michael Hinton. When the time came to ask for those who were wanting to find life in Christ like in John 10:10 there ended up being at least 50 kids going forward to pray for salvation. The call for a decision gave the kids at least four progressive steps to back out if they were not sure what they were seeking from God...from the simple 1st step of just looking up at the speaker to raising a hand to standing up in their spot to stepping out and going to the front. Our youth pastors and their helpers were there to get decision follow up cards from the kids. There were no false gospel promises of praying a prayer and everything in your life becomes perfect and your problems disappear, only that you will have new life in Christ and life more abundant (John 10:10 again) and He will never leave you and He will tell the Father that 'This one is redeemed' when that time comes one day.

Anyway, we are excited, God is good and He is at work. The power of the gospel sets people free to live the way God created us to live with hope and free from the weight and bondage of sin. Amen!!
