Youth Night Success!



Nicu Carstea...New Youth Pastor

Nicu, one of last years interns, is our church's new youth pastor. Friday the 18th of February was our first youth night, and it went great! Nicu and his team did a wonderful job, and we saw many new faces. We were able to connect with the youth of our city during our Coffee House time after the service and even saw two young guys give their lives to the Lord.

Our youth service is open to all youth between 14-25 and runs every Friday night from 7:00 pm - 10:00. The first hour consists of Worship and the Preaching of the Word. Mixed into the service are several video clips that our media team makes; these help the service to flow better. We also have dramas and special music.

The next two hours are Coffee House, where everybody is free to simply hang out. We have ping pong, christian music videos on, beverages and a good time for everybody. This time is specifically so we can get to know those who come. The cell group leaders have encouraged their members to take advantage of this time to get to know people and invite them to their cell groups.

We praise God for this "bridge" ministry which will make a way for the youth of our city to enter into the Kingdom of God! Thank you for your prayers.
