Praying for a Generation



Today I met with Pastor Chase Hill, Student Ministries Pastor at Westside Baptist in Hutchinson, Kansas. First of all he is really a believer in the power of all generations and is looking at how to engage the other generations in the lives of his students.

As we talked he just casually mentioned that there was a team of prayer warriors....mostly seniors....who are praying during the entire time of the Rites of Passage. He told me that I would be able to "spot them." How I wondered??? Then he told me. He had this idea and with the help of one of the other pastors, he had distributed hospital wristbands with labels in them to remind the wearer to pray.

What a remarkable idea and clear reminder. he told me that they were the good ones and waterproof so they can be worn in showers or whatever. I was blown away. what a fabulous ideal to engage in a visible way a group to pray for the younger generation and specifically those participating in the Rites of Passage this weekend at Westside Baptist.

I am believing that this is going to be a fabulous weekend.
