NOVEMBER 2006
Name: Isaias Gabriel
Ministry Highlights/Praises:
1 A few weeks ago we organized a church dinner to raised money for the youth and the whole ¨¨selling food¨¨ idea was a big success.
2 The ages 18 to 24 of our youth in growing and besides that they are all getting involve in all the activities we do.
3 In our youth group we have a lot of non believers coming to our activities.
· Projects Working on:
· Next Saturday we have a big bonfire with food, worship, sermon, etc.
· In January we are taking the youth to the mountains for two days. They had been there before and they love it, so we are going to take advantage of that and we are going to make that the best retreat ever.
· I’m working on new songs for my rap ministry. I get to perform every time we have a youth activity that requires a couple songs; I’m just ready for it.
· We are organizing a church revival from Dec. 22 to 24. That’s going to be big and we hope that because of this we can gain more youth for our church.
Ministry Challenges:
¨During our youth group meetings we do not want to see empty sits.¨
Family News:
1 My grand mother is better, she is out of the hospital now and she is adjusting to her new life. For those of you who don’t know, my grand father just died like 3 months ago so that hit her hard. She was depressed but through the hospital attention and all the prayers she is better now.
Prayer Requests:
· Please keep me in your prayers everyday because I want to be an example for all these youth. I want to show them the life that Christ lived without me falling down.
· We need a sound system. Most of the churches we go to do not have sound system available and the ones that do have one, it sounds terrible.
· My grand mother’s health.
· Our church is planning a huge revival for this coming February that it is going to be huge. We are going to need a lot of prayers because if this revival goes smoothly our church is not going to have space to hold all the new Christians that are going to come.
How’s God working in you?
I can say that God is using me in different areas, worship team, discipleship, youth, rap, etc. but I have been praying for my future… sometimes I wonder ¨¨what am I going to be doing in 5 years?¨¨ this is a question that goes through my head all the time. I want to serve him, but I want to be the best at it. Don’t miss understand this please because when I say that I mean if I am a youth ministry, I want to be the best at it, if God is using me through rap music I also want to be the best at it, if I’m the worship leader I want to be the best at it…
I realized that the only way I can become the best at everything I do is through prayers. Because being the best youth ministry doesn’t mean to be the guys who can come up with more activities, no. it means to do whatever you do under God’s direction. I know that if I lift my self to him he is going to bless me and my ministry. This is not about you college education, this is not about any of our human abilities this is about humbling our self and putting God first in everything we do.
Like I say, I’m just working on being a good example for my youth group. I want them to see Jesus attitude in me. The only way I can accomplish that is by having you all praying for me all the time, and I will keep looking for God’s example, which I want to follow.
Thank you for taking time to read this, thanks for supporting me, thanks for your friendship and thank you for letting God be the first in your life.
In Christ,
