Hey guys
So I figured I would share a little bit of a dream/ambition for when I get back. So I know that a lot of youth are in the mindset that they can do whatever they want and it won’t matter because they have no say in what happens these days. Well that is part of what I want to change, I also want to change the mindset that the youth can be good Christians latter in life when they are older. This is a huge thing to try and change and I need all of your help. Encourage your kids and the kids you see and ask them questions about their relationship with God. I’m sure it will seem like it isn’t going to do anything and they won’t like it but it forces them to think about it. As far as my plans when I get home, I plan on helping out with Fisk’s second church service as much as I possibly can. This second service is going to be mainly a spirit led service, hoping to be a healing service, spiritually and physically. Please be praying for that church service, because right now it is in the planning stages, and we want it to be spirit led, and we are hoping for a live musician/ band to lead it. Just pray that God’s will be accomplished in it. Besides that I am going to be a Younglife leader. I want to get out on the streets and meet kids where they are, this will mean a lot of contact work, and a ton of awkward first conversations, but I just feel like I need to love on the youth. And I feel like Younglife is a great organization that pushes high school kids toward a relationship with God. I also want to be pushing people, of all ages to find their spiritual gifts, and to use them, because it won’t do anyone any good to just realize what their gift is if they won’t use it. We need to do what 2 Timothy 1: 6-7 says

“For this reason I remind you to fan into flame the gift of God, which is in you through the laying on of my hands. For God did not give us a spirit of timidity, but a spirit of power, and love and self-discipline.”

  2. Praise God! It’s wonderful to hear your thoughts, dreams and plans for your return! The more God uses you Garrett, the more young people will begin to turn their thoughts and minds toward the Lord! God alone be praised!

  3. I like it bro. Are you going to hunker down and do some healing in Africa to get some practice? I guess you won’t have to worry about practicing awkward conversations…language barriers tend to vet us pretty quickly on those LOL.

  4. Does this mean you will be helping with VBS (July 26-30)??? There’s a leader’s role with your name on it….:)
