Still wondering why?

I have couples small group on Thursdays, and if there was ever a reason this does not end with us, here it is:

"Thank you for this weekend. I was going to take my life, and now I'm not."

That was written on a card by a student after attending Blast the previous weekend, and shared with us in small group. God so moved in the life of that student that they decided whatever it was that drove them to think death was the solution, they now realized the real solution is the unconditional love of Jesus. The time given by adult volunteers, plus the contributions of the attenders made the change in that student's life possible. How many other students might be thinking that very thing? How many adults? How many need us to be the church so they don't get forgotten or left behind?

Please - let us not let it end with us.
