I have been so encouraged by the response for The Lifebooks from our teens. I received the following update from a teen in my youth ministry that by all accounts should not even be serving God. She comes from a broken home, has a verbally & alcoholic father, has dealt with self injury but yet she wants so much of HIM.
This wonderful teen sent me a text yesterday and let me know that she had given away 3 books. She gave one to a fellow student that IMMEDIATELY told her she wanted one. The second one she gave out was to a young man that has had a lot of the same problems that she has experienced. Apparently he saw the book in her hand and said "Is that the book you were talking to me about?" She said "yes" he then said "Can I have one?" she said "Of Course" and he took it. The last book she gave out was placed in the girls bathroom with a simple note on it that said "Having Problems...?" This book will help and it is free! She went back into the bathroom after her last period and it was gone.
I also had 3 more teens that came to me and told me that they needed more books and she took 20 Lifebooks with her!!!
I am so excited for what this outreach is doing in the lives of the teens God has so graciously given to my care.

That is a phenomenal testimony! Only the God we serve can deliver and set free, then encourage the delivered to make a way for others to be set free! That is what its all about! Building the kingdom, one soul at a time!! Blessings!
