86 years old

Today was a great day in the life of our spiritual community of high school students. Our guest speaker was John Nelson. He's 86 years old and he is the first speaker in our series, Faith of our Fathers, which will run 3 to 4 times throughout the year. I've had a burden to get those in our church who have walked with the Lord for decades in front of our students to share their journey with Jesus. Today was filled with laughter and tears. I think it's imperative for the students in our church to hear the faith stories of those who have come before them. Several of our students don't have a relationship with their grandparents so it's a great chance for them to hear the story of a faithful follower of Jesus.

I can't wait for the next one this winter!
