We recently received and joined a YWAM USA team here in Portugal for a night. We decided to not plan and just go out by faith and see what God had in store for us. So we went out into the centre of Lisbon and decide to walk around a bit to find people who God wanted to touch that night.
We couldn't have expected what happened. As we walked around Lisbon we came across a small group of kids playing outside. So some of us felt called to approach them and started a simple chat with them. After about 15 minutes of talking the group of kids had expanded as other kids either getting called out by their friends or out of pure curiosity decided to join us. Right then we felt that this was why we were called out that night, to minister to these kids. We had an amazing time of worship and teaching with the children. We were able to share the gospel with them and talk to them individually and as a group about Jesus. Towards the end of out time there we decided to pray for each child there. We really felt Gods presence as every kids wanted to be prayed for that night, every child wanted to feel Gods presence and experience God that night.
It was a really humbling experience as my expectation was that we were going to pray for adults and talk to adults about God. But no the Holy spirit is not just limited to adults, God wants everyone no matter how young or old to experience his presence.
In prayer I pray that God will open up doors in young people, children and kids lives around you so that they can feel the holy spirit, that those open doors will allow you to share the Gospel with them. That they will have a divine encounter with the living God and that their lives will be changed as a result. I pray for those children that have already put their faith in God that they will continue to trust in God as they grow older that their will not be pulled away from God but in fact they will delve even deeper into the presence of God than ever before. In the name of our Lord Jesus Christ. Amen.
