Lost youth..
Pro 22:6 Train up a child in the way he should go: and when he is old, he will not depart from it.
I was down at the church through the week doing some work on the grounds when a group of five 14-15 year old boys stopped to get a drink from our outside tap. I struck up a conversation with these young boys to find out their interests and what schools they attended. I told them of some of the outreaches we are planning here for the youth and they were very excited and keen to be involved. Chatting with Helen about them when I got home our hearts both were burdened again for the lost kids in the nation of Australia and especially our community. The mission program of CCSH is clear – preach the gospel to every creature. During my time at Bible College I heard about the great mission programs to New Guinea, Africa and other far flung parts of the world. But statistically now Australia is one of the most needful mission nations in all the world! Less than 3% of Australians attend a church on any given Sunday. Children, youths, living in our very own community know absolutely nothing of Jesus Christ, the Bible or anything about God. Therefore it is now paramount that each member of CCSH consider themselves a missionary in a vast mission field. The tragedy of this mission field is that it is our very own nation Australia. Will you join the mission program here with us that God has laid upon our hearts this year to reach the youth of our community. What can you do? Many things as in all mission programs – you can pray and be the spiritual support team to those on the mission field front line (Youth Group, Calvary Kids, witnessing teams, all out special outreaches), you can give (funds to provide resources for outreach programs and equipment), finally you can actually become a trained CCSH missionary by getting trained in our CCSH School of Ministry or by stepping forward with physical support to be a part of the teams involved in our outreaches and youth/children programs. Those five boys I chatted to were all great kids, but tragically lost souls. We can with God’s help and our availability touch the hearts of those five kids – but it means work, patience and the grace and love of God! Become a missionary today in the land in which you live!
