Youth Gathering
Late this week I'm heading off to Orlando FL (nothing like Florida in JULY!) for our denomination's National Youth Gathering. I'm serving as a Bible Study presenter for a segment of the nearly 25,000 youth who will be present down there.
I've definitely got a burden for the youth of our nation and my national church-body. So please be in prayer for the youth and those who help lead them. There is a great opportunity to make the love of Jesus Christ very REAL through this gathering, resulting in thousands of kids who stand ready to face all, even death, to follow Jesus wherever He leads.
But that kind of thing can only happen by God's Spirit, not by might, not by power... so join me in praying for God's Spirit to work in big ways through this gathering, and through saps like me :) Peace.

Dion, I just wanted to say thank you for the Bible Studies you lead in Orlando. My students were really encouraged by what you spoke about, and it made for some great discussion in our family group time that night. It was really refreshing to hear the honesty with which you spoke and the passion that was present in your talk. Thanks for the time you put into your message. God's Blessings to you and your ministry.
Dion, I concur and loudly resonate with what David said. I am the guy whose group insisted on taking a picture of me with you. I'm glad they did! The picture (which they had printed) reminds me to work as hard as you did on that Bible study! And to deliver "the goods" with a passion for them and bit of humor. It was great! God's blessings in your ministry.
thanks for the encouragement guys. I sure do appreciate it and am quite humbled by your words. More of testimony of what God can do, if the youth learned anything, i hope it was that God can and will use them in significant ways too.
