A silent cry out from the Youth
By: Chris Kingston
December 1, 2006
There is a silent, huge problem with today’s youth with the fact that cultural influences such as movies, television, radio, ipods, internet and video games quickly altering the minds of the youth and taking away the positive perspectives of our teenagers around the world.
I am not going to bash the media and the way kids are influenced in today’s society, but what I do what to point out is everyone is becoming so individualist and losing so many great opportunities to interact with other people, humans, friends, and families by always focusing on being entertained. This is a full fledge epidemic!
Jesus Christ was focused on people, serving and healing others, and the inner condition of their hearts. We are here in Australia sharing the good news of the Gospel to the youth.
What our HSE team is discovering is the fact that Australian youth and teens are just like the American teens. They are influenced by the same shows, music, video games etc. They are not receiving the love and time needed from key adult figures and roles models in their lives.
We have been blessed by what God has given us the opportunity to go and do while down-under in the Sydney area. God is giving us a daily chance to go into public schools and interact and share who Jesus Christ is, what he has done in each of our lives, and what HE wants to do in each one of the youth lives, To give them Hope and a Future...
This mission’s trip has been non-stop from the time we landed on November 12th. ome people might think, wow, the team went to Sydney, what a nice vacation. Wrong, our intention has always been to be available and ready to serve God and be used in all the blessings he has waiting for our team. That has turned into many 14+ hour days with constant opportunities to interact and share with the youth here.
Please pray for hundreds or thousands of youth to come to accept Jesus Christ as their personal Lord and Savior. Please specifically pray for the following schools: Model Farms H.S., Kellyville H.S., Castle Hill H.S., and Pacific Hills. Pray that the bondage of deception, discouragement, and any sin be taken out of their lives.
Also, please pray for our time and relationships with the youth group at Calvary Chapel Church were we are serving. We pray that they will be raised up as the future world changers and leaders of a spiritual revival in Australia.
God Bless you all for your prayers,
