To Know God and Make Him Known

July 4th in Chicago (conclusion)

 Immediately after the play, the team members in the audience and performers enter the crowd and begin asking their reaction to the presentation. They learn something about the people and offer to pray for them. Many accept.
  It's very powerful and touching to see these kids boldly step out. Instead of destroying their own lives with drugs and sex, they reach out to improve and redeem the lives of others.
  These young people were not simply loaded up into a van and thrust upon the unsuspecting public. Their week of outreach was preceded by an equal week of prayer, discipleship training and faith formation. They spent daily time in the Bible and group worship and praise before the Lord, as well as preparing their performances to take on the road.
     Even YWAM's six-month schools follow this format of a first half spent in training and lecture, followed by the second half of outreach. After having this kind of faith sharing experience the everyday world doesn't look the same anymore.
 It makes you wonder how we can bring Jesus more into the world we operate in. You have experienced God using you to break down spiritual walls and reach into people's hearts. You want to keep doing it. That is what life in the Holy Spirit is all about.
 That is why we continue to work toward unity in the Body of Christ, encouraging all believers to “Go ye into all nations and share the Good News.” That includes our nation. On a weekend celebrating one Nation under God, we brought God back to the party. “O’er the land of the free, and the home of the brave.”
