First off, like the new Band of Survivors logo? I think it’s sharp.
Anyway, I’m writing to update you on Band of Survivors. We had a leaders meeting on Thursday night. It was a fun and exciting time. I love our leaders. It’s really cool because we are all friends and the Lord chosen us to serve in this unique way together. How else could eight friends run around the Division together with 15 teens, doing Kingdom work for an entire summer? Only by the Grace.
Today we had Orientation for Band of Survivors. I am very impressed with the members of this team. I believe in them. They are capable and keen.
This summer we will participate in 24/7 prayer, study the book of Exodus, have Cell Groups each day, participate in Knee Drills and times of Praying the Bible, live in community, learn about Salvationism, go to Corps and Army institutions to learn and serve, lead the teen track at Pilgrimage, march in a parade, will participate in Open Airs, block parties and street evangelism, will memorize Scripture, will work with kids, will learn about and love the Homeless, will plan and lead three summer Prayer & Praise Nights, will clean, will cook, will do laundry, will play Dodgeball, will spur one another on to do good deeds, will abstain from the internet, cell phones, movies and secular music, will have times of spontaneous worship and prayer, will fast (but in secret), will read Samuel Logan Brengle’s Helps to Holiness, and update you each day on what we are doing on metroyouthnetwork.com. It will truly be an amazing summer.
Please pray for us.
