Emerge



I've been thinking about whether to write about this or not for about a week now. Decided it's maybe worth saying......

Our youth HAVE to be the best bunch of youth in the world - ever !! They amaze me with their maturity, openness & walk with God. A couple of Thursday nights ago we had a open mic night (well kinda, I'd prepped a couple of the youth & asked them to share) & talked about the importance of sharing your story.

I was amazed at their openess & honesty. So many stories of how they have found God & acceptance at Emerge, through their friends there.... there are few places where I could imagine it being ok for a teenager to take a mic & say 'I don't believe what you believe '. It can't have been easy for the individual, but watching the rest of the group respond....

I think these guys give me an idea of what the early church must have been like. They inspire me & encourage me in my faith walk. They are Emerge.

I second that Deirdre. The young people in church bless me every week at emerge!! I learn so much from them and am totally inspired by them. I pray God continues His good work amongst them.
