SEMP Team
Our SEMP Team returned today and shared what God had done in their lives this past week. The Students Equipped To Minister to Peers conference is held annually at Wheaton College and teaches students how to share their faith. During this past week our teens experienced God through worship, serving, listening, writing letters to their friends, sharing and loving.
Our students returned better equipped to share their faith, but God did much more. God not only broke their hearts for the lost, but He also knit their hearts to one another. A transformed heart is a remarkable thing. Words weren't needed to describe what these students and adults experienced this past week. The looks on their faces, the tears in their eyes, and their expressions of affection for one another said it all.
I watched and listened this afternoon as the SEMP Team shared from their hearts. On Saturday, one week ago, they left as friends and acquaintances; today they returned as family. They left as 27 students, three sponsors, and two pastors, and they returned with one heart. Jesus give us your heart for people.
When he saw the crowds, he had compassion on them, because they were harassed and helpless, like sheep without a shepherd. Then he said to his disciples, "The harvest is plentiful but the worker are few. Ask the Lord of the harvest, therefore, to send out workers into his harvest field." Matthew 9:36-38
