a.t.t.i.c. youth ministry

I heard a sweet story today at work.  It was a true story about Billy Graham and his recent march into Bourbon Street in New Orleans.  So he was giving prolly his last crusade down in New Orleans and at the end of his message he decided to do something different.  He invited the 16,000 in attendance to follow him on a 1 mile hike from the convention center to Bourbon St.  For those who don't know, Bourbon St is where all the bars are and where most of the night life happens in NO.  So almost everyone responded to his call and followed him into the city, into the bars, into the streets, suddenly into the lives of a lot of people who were not planning on encountering God that night.  They talked to people, shared with people, and prayed for people.  A lot of people were brought to Jesus that night.  Amazing story. 

Now imagine you are at your school.  And you want to reach your friends for God.  And there may not be 16,000, but maybe there is 160 or even 16.  What difference could just 16 students in your school make if they decided to really reach their school for God.  Just 16 kids.  Black or white, baptist or catholic, freshman or senior.  Can you imagine the change?  Can you imagine the difference just 16 could make in your school?  What if there were 32 students?  What if there was just one student? 

Will you be that student?
