Woodlawn Youth Ministry

MORE THAN CONQUERORS
Time is flying and the Spring Retreat is upon us.  This weekend, the teenagers will be taking a journey to Hidden Falls Ranch in the Palo Duro Canyon for a time of rest, renewing, and rebuilding.  Our theme is, More Than Conquerors, and that's exactly what we will be discussing.  We will join another youth group for this exciting weekend.  There will be approximately 40 teenagers attending the retreat.  I ask that you keep these teenagers in your prayers as we talk about the 'Power of Satan' and the 'Power of God.'

PRAISE THE LORD!
It wasn't even 24 hours before I had many of you come up to me and give me money for the teenagers.  Your donations mean so much to these teenagers, and I know that by being able to send them on this retreat, God is going to do great things through His Word.  I want to send my greatest gratitude to all of you who have helped out.  It says a lot about a family that takes care of the young ones. God Bless!

"In all these things we are more than conquerors through him who loved us.  For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither the present nor the future, nor any powers, neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord."  -Romans 8:37-39

Because of Christ,
Elijah Godfrey

Baptisms: Sarah Bailey reports two more baptisms in Florence, Italy.  Elsie, a Haitian lady from Mexico, and Nikolin, an Albanian living in Italy, both became God's children through baptism after being taught by members of the Avanti Italia team working with the church in Florence.  Sarah and these young people are making an impact for the Lord by seeking out opportunities and making themselves available to people who are willing to listen to the gospel message.  Thank God for their dedication!  To Him be the glory!
