DARE 2 SHARE

In my last post I said that Drew and I were going to Dare 2 Share (d2s) this past weekend. d2s is a conference for youth, and they do a bunch of things there. To say the d2s was AWESOME is a MAJOR understatement.  It was the coolest thing ever. :)

Friday was awesome, and Saturday was THE best. Part of the conference (well most of it actually) was about sharing your faith. So every youth group that was at d2s picked something for their youth group to go and do. We went to the mall close by (smallest mall in the world...a little bigger than a Walmart). We split into groups of 3. Prayed. And them went around the mall to talk to people about the G.O.S.P.E.L. (see video below). At first we (my group) was kinda freaked out. Going up to a random person and talking about it was kinda.....you get the point. We went into a Macy's and walked around looking for somebody to talk to. Long story short, we ended up talking to 2 girls who are Catholic. We started off by asking if they had every heard of the Gospel, and they said the only thing they had heard of was "Gospel Music". We went over the G.O.S.P.E.L. with them and when we asked them if they were going to go to Heaven when they died they said no. We talked to them a bit more about God, and it was AWESOME! I can tell you all more, but its a long story to type.

We left after that, and we had about 15 mins. until we had to meet back with the youth group. We found another group of girls from our church (I won't say names) and asked them if they had talked to anybody. They said no (and everybody was supposed to talk to somebody at least once) so we all teamed up (there where 6 of us) and we decided to talk to 1 more group of people. I am leaving out the gross part of the story. But we eventually found 3 girls walking. We asked them if they new what the GOSPEL was and the one girl said, "Isn't that about God?" and we said, "Yes." She said, "Well I am a atheist".....We went over the GOSPEL with her and she kept saying, "Well I have a reason." We finally asked her what the reason was and she said that last year, (her whole family were Christians) her mom was really sick and she prayed for a miracle and her mom ended up dying. We told her that God works everything for the good of those who love Him (Romans 8:28). She said that she just doesn't understand how her Mom dying is for the good. One of the girls in our group said,"Well this really awesome guy at the conference we are at (Zane Black) said that when we pray God responds with 3 answers: Now, Later, or Something Better. And for your Mom, its something better. She got to go to Heaven." We got to talk for a couple more minutes, and we told her that wouldn't she feel better if one day she could go to Heaven and see her Mom again and she said yes. We told her how she could do that and them she thanked us, and we left.

It was SO awesome to talk to somebody that was hurting and she really responded well. Everyone in her family are Christians except her and I hope she talked to them more when she got home.

The whole weekend was INCREDIBLE! If you want to learn more about it click the links below:

God created us to be with him
Our sins separate us from God
Sins cant be removed by good deeds
Paying the price for sin Jesus died and rose again
Everyone who trusts in him alone has eternal life
Life with Jesus starts now and lasts for ever!
