Youth Take Over

Cambodia is counter-cultural, with children and youth leading the growth of the church.  Last Sunday the kids took over the service for a packed house. The oldest person on our special praise team might have been ten years old. Thanny, the Young Lions leader, preached the sermon and handled one of the largest alter calls at our Phnom Penh church, in our history. Throughout the last month key Young Lions leaders received a special “impartation” and release in meetings, with Bill and David Norton doing the teaching. Young people had their Spiritual giftings identified, were released to operate in them, and pass them on to others.The Young Lions led a rousing charge to the province of Pursat and left hundreds of new believers in their wake. When we try to discern what has brought this about, it boils down to hundreds of small things, done with a general intent to grow the church through years of fiery opposition, but not with any expectation of the grand result. There is no smell of smoke on these kids.[nggallery id=1200]
