Last Night's Big Win

God has been doing some amazing things in our youth ministry since the first of the year. In January, we began talking about friendships and how they can influence our lives. Many students talked about how that was the best stuff they have ever heard on friendships and the importance of those you let in your inner circle.

That avenue continued as we talked about launching small groups to be the friendliest place in the city. In a recent survey of things most looked for in a youth ministry, over 70% said that the number one thing they want is a friendly atmosphere where they can be themselves. We have worked very hard to create that environment at Adrenaline.

Last night, we had a visitor that most would label as a “rough” student. At first glance, he seemed like a person you might walk on the other side of the street from. But our students were so amazing. They actually went after him, pursued him. They talked to him. They hung out with him. They played games with him. They made him feel very welcome. The girl that brought him is also fairly new to Adrenaline, and her mom had this to say to one of our adult leaders afterward:

Joey said he really liked youth group last night, he said everyone made him feel very welcome and is wanting to come back!!! He also thinks pastor Tony was “cool” Thanks for being such a wonderful blessing Tony, Ken & Sandy.

To me, this is the big win for Adrenaline.
