Capturing Our Boys for the Cause of Christ!!

Right after Christmas I posted an article regarding shaping boys into men.  I am tremendously excited about our Spirit Week this next week at the Christian school where I teach (Vcitory Christian Academy).  I'm going to be preaching half of the messages at our daily chapel services on the subject of Capturing Our Boys for the Cause of Christ.  I'm sharing these teaching duties with our assistant principal, Derek Chirch.  The philosophy behind our teaching next week is based upon what I wrote in that December 27 entry.  The Lord has led Derek and me to the truth that if the Lord can capture the hearts of our boys at our school, revival will break out and affect every student, male and female, there.  I believe its a biblical principle.  I'm putting together a girl's prayer group for the week to be lifting our young men to the Lord and for the opening of their hearts.  Our teaching will cover the reality of the battle, putting on the armor, confidence and courage in the walk, the battle belongs to the Lord, and a final wrap-up of "Biblical Heroes and Modern Warfare."  I have a heart for all of our students at VCA, but most certainly the Lord has laid upon me a burden for our boys.   I share all of this for your prayer support.  As you read this, would you pause and pray for our Spirit Week (January 23-27)?  I would personally appreciate your prayer support for my teaching this next week, as well as my interaction with our guys.  Thanks!!

The idea of praying for each other and asking for prayer support is one lesson that we should all remember. Transforming boys into men of God cannot occur by our doing, we need to allow God to use us to show his face. submitting to God in prayer to seek his spirit, his will, his ways is an example that will help our children more than anything. We need to pray for each other and not fix each other.
Your post really hit home and reminded me of some things I need to work on
