I determined to attend to YO** out-reach. When Shalom required us to spend a night at that out-reach with her, I could not decide, but the Lord gave me not a pressed heart but a desire that want to be challenged. That challenge was not for testing my ability or English speaking skill. I wanted to know more the prayer needs of youth on Saipan that I just used to hear about it in person. I thought that they would not like to let me join them so that it would need a lot of trying, but I wanted to go there to go through those matters.
This out-reach did not need so big help, because there were some events that students planned and some of the members were already senior. Several teachers of junior high have come, too. The youth have just needed prayer for them and the pathway that the Lord can work in them through it. Even though we can not be visible help, Pastor F. would get great blessing that we are there, observe them and pray for them eagerly.
If the Pastor makes groups in them and let them pray themselves, they pray together. And they listened to preacher more or less. But as soon as the worship service over, they returned to totally free. So I felt strange feeling looking at them, but I could understand them. If there are students honest more, they would be confused themselves worshiping with another appearance. There were a girl who keeps her self-respect, a girl who enjoys some music singing strange lyrics and some teenagers who have lots of skin ship each other and wear low-cut dresses. There words were very fast and have a lot of slangs so that it was hard to listen them. It was hard more to sit calm and talk with them. But a girl with whom I could talk with in chance permitted was always preacher of gospel in school even she was young as least fifteen years old. She had a broken family and goes to a public school, but she accepted the Lord seriously. I was surprised for the girl who lives in Kag***.
I wanted to listen them all and to know them more. But the beginning of that relationship was not easy. However, I could be with them playing and running funny with them at night. I needed to try more as much as it is hard. Shortly after the starting, I was enjoying it. Inexpertly, I could see their pretty heart that willing to let me join them.
Even though their favorite music and movie drove me crazy and I had few of fear at first, but I have got to know and love them more seeing them some times. (At the C. Jamboree at the Kag*** church) I think attending this out-reach was very good choice! I had a headache and several showy scenes in my thoughts in the Saturday morning but I believed that the Lord would work in them by our prayers even I can see only one aside of them, now. I could not know God's great, deep and wonderful plan but the Lord has worked during that short time. Above all, He gave me some prayers about the teenagers, Pastor and teachers in my heart. I am going to pray in hope of new wind of gospel that the Lord would give it in them.
