This last weekend I was privileged to be able to present Christian Persecution and a table display with Voice of the Martyrs.  The event was called Reality Weekend.  Reality weekend was a multi-church youth gathering over 2 days here in Carlsbad, NM.   I was able give out GFA book, Revolution in World Missions, website stickers and CD’s by Paul Washer, Powerful Youth Message.  The response there was incredible.  Most of the youth at least checked out, asked questions and picked up free stuff.  There was roughly about 140 students and 30 adults, or so.  I was asked to do a 5 minute prayer/persecution/Reality talk during the opening worship on Sat.  When I started talking, God delivered the words, the message and the prayer.  Some of the youth were slumped onto the stage when I led prayer.   I was then able to do a 30 minute break out group presenting VOM and Christian Persecution.  There were four break out groups going on and they gave me the biggest room.  I set up over 60 plus chairs but really only expected 10 kids or so.  But the Lord brought more youth than I had chairs.  There were even youth on the floor.  I brought the truth about persecution present, VOM history and objectives and challenged the youth to Matthew 7:21-23, keeping in mind persecution and Reality!  The response was pretty amazing.  Afterwards I spent almost 3 hours disciplining and answering questions. Several of the youth showed a genuine fire for becoming missionaries.  Two girls asked me this, “Can you get us connected to becoming missionaries like you were talking about?”  They were willing to give there all to sharing the gospel.  In this time of discipling, we went through many Scriptures, especially the ones most churches will not preach, challenged the youth to true discipleship and watched a good part of the Communion of Saints Under Fire, a VOM DVD.  As a result, we could have anywhere up to 6 or 7 new youth begin to come to our home on Saturdays for fellowship, although we will see what the Lord does.  The Lord did not have to show me any fruit, but He did and I am so blessed and encouraged by it!  There is a remnant of young people who are willing to walk into and through the fire! Praise God!
