We are celebrating more than 70 years of being a hope to students and young adults adults who don't know Christ. We are also celebrating 25 years of the Capernaum Ministry being in Young Life.......PRAISE GOD!!!
The other morning the Capernaum ministry was talked about in the general session. Within that time a young man with special needs, Michael Crifton, was introduced. Michael not only attends club but is also a leader in his club. He talked about what his club looked like and what his roles were. Michael mentioned all the important roles of having fun and welcoming everyone with handshakes, high fives, and most importantly...chest bumps At the end the person interviewing Michael mentioned how this young man had always wanted to give a club talk.
So they gave him his chance, they gave Michael time to proclaim Christ in front of 4,000 people and that he did.
He said.....
Jesus suffered. He died for you.
On the third day He arose.
He wants to be in your heart.
On the third day He arose.
He wants to be in your heart.
What an amazing thing to hear the gospel coming out of one of our friends with disabilities. It reminds me of what I had heard at the memorial for our student that passed earlier this month. The priest giving the talk said,
"If you are a true believer in God, you see our kids as advantaged not disabled."
We have the unique chance to be with our Capernaum friends every week. Thank You for giving me this amazing blessing. I would not be in the position I am today without the love, support both emotionally and financially, and partnership in this ministry!!
May God continue to bless OC Capernaum beyond our wildest dreams!!!
THANK YOU for making this happen. THANK YOU for allowing our leaders and I to be apart of something so much greater!
