T - 2 Weeks

It's Monday morning and I'm having trouble getting words out :) So read with that in mind!

Well the countdown is now on; there are only two weeks left of the Work Force program. Some of us are stressed about winning young souls, seeing the conversions, getting the numbers in! Haha. Me, I'm just going with the flow. We've presented the Gospel and many of its truths, the rest is out of our hands. See John 16:6-16. It is a good passage to use to remind ourselves sometimes that we are not the ones that actually do the convincing when it comes to people's salvation. Just present the message that Christ gives you and then move on in faith. God knows what He's doing and already knows who will accept salvation and who will not. We can not let ourselves get hung up on numbers, relationship checklists, how many times we have led someone through the "sinners prayer," etc. If we do get distracted by such things we can run the risk of forgetting to build real relationships that conveys a message of love. Ministries tend to get so caught up in the latest "Purpose Driven..." formulas we miss out on doing the simplest of things and truly being effective.
