History pt 8 -- Letting God talk to the youth

Now here is the thing. I am pretty sure that God finally showed me what big project He had been leading us to do. Now, what about the youth? How is He going to speak to them?

At the next youth group I told them that I felt God was showing us and if anyone was interested in trying to figure it out, see me after youth group. Three youth came up to me and I told them to pray specifically for a clear answer and to be ready to go on a visit with me. They agreed to do that.

Later, Anne and I finally connected. I explained to her that I felt God may be leading us to join her in this ministry. I also told her that God would need to speak to the youth before we decided anything. I wanted to take the youth to Route 1 to pray and see what happens. I asked if we could go visit a camp along Route 1. Initially, she was very hesitant. We want to keep the locations a secret to respect the homeless peoples privacy. She told me there was an abandoned camp that she would show us. I called the youth that said they would be praying and looking.

Later that week, we went and saw the camp. We had to walk quite a way off of Route 1 to get to the actual camp. Wow, even though no one was there, it was astounding!! The tent was there, but it was in bad shape. There was trash everywhere. Anne told us that the person who lived there before got beat up and they did not know where he was anymore.

After we dropped Anne off, the youth and I went to Arby's to talk about what we just experienced. We prayed and they were very excited about what might be happening. We decided that this was the thing that God was leading us to do. I now had to get us involved. This is so cool.
