A Transformation

Over the last couple of months we have been doing a lot of work in the Youth Room/Fellowship Hall. We are still in the process of remodeling but on of the biggest jobs was painting the whole entire room. It took us probably 2 weeks to paint the room, but the painting is complete and now we are just waiting to do some other work in there. New Carpet, New drop ceiling, sound equipment, and new video equipment are in the works for the end of the process. As I was sitting in my office one day I thought to myself "wow I can't wait for this room to totally be done." Its been great seeing the transformation that is going on in the room. I was hoping to post a couple pictures but haven't taken any yet, just to give you an idea of the transformation that is taking place in the youth room. After all said and done though, as the students come back into that room(hopefully by the beginning of the year), I hope that as much transformation that went on in that room while we were remodeling it, more transformation will go on in our students lives as God continues to move amongst our students. Romans 12:2 says "Do not conform any longer to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind." I am praying that our students when they walk into a new room, will forget about the world and let God do some transforming in their lives, just like we transformed the youth room. So many times we as human beings live life according to the patterns of this world, instead of living a life according to God's will in our lives. Its time we start letting transformation take place instead of staying in the same place and letting our live be patterned after this world. I ask that you pray for the students of Consumed Student Ministries that their lives will be transformed by the renewing of their minds!!

Youth Convention

This past weekend we took 26 Students down to Youth Convention in Greenwood, IN. It was a great weekend and I believe that the students of Consumed Student Ministries were touched by God. Planetshakers was there leading worship the whole weekend, and they ushered in the presence of the Lord. Kendal was the first speaker on Friday night and did in awesome job preaching a sermon entitled..."Do You Believe the Message?" Talk to students about truly believing in the message of Jesus Christ and what he has done for us. Saturday morning service was awesome! The pastor's wife from Planetshakers, also the lead singer, gave an awesome message talking about identity and putting all your trust in the Lord. After the morning service we took all the kids to the mall and had a great afternoon of shopping!! The girls were really excited to spend some time at the mall!! Not so much for the guys, but they had fun just hanging out. It was a great weekend with all the students!!! I know that they are already excited for next year!
