God's work in ministry

In my ministry at Bethel Tabernacle through the vision of the youth guy- Phil, and the passion through prayer and worship of leaders I have seen God moving within the youth who attend and the leaders who lead.

I have seen god in the youth group as I see more individuals attending youth and really being attentive. Though they may be coming originally for the friends and the fun the fact that they are there are giving us as leaders the opportunity to minister and share God with them. Though many try and ditch the message leaders are cracking down and really trying to encourage them to stay for worship and the message. Kids are less distracted during the message and seem to be focused and listening attentively. Through the reactions of the youth throughout the message I am able to see God working. I am able to see God challenging them with different thoughts and ideas. I can tell that what they believe In is being challenged and some are even making a choice to follow God.
            In one particular individual I have been seeing god doing absolutely incredible things. Though I haven't been able to connect in a deep way with many individuals there is one I have been. In her I see God doing some pretty incredible things. I see God challenging her to reach out to others and challenging her to pray for others. I find it so good to see her really chasing after God and getting involved. Within the ministry I believe a huge thing that has been impacting it is the focus on prayer. Through prayer I find people are encouraged to really grow in passion and desire for God. I can see god overall working in different ways starting with individuals to really grow the youth. 
           Within my ministry I'm involved in not only do I see God working in the individuals attending but I also see this within the leaders. Through Phil I can see a passion god has placed in his heart for the youth. I've seen how much of a desire he has to see youth grow and also develop a passion for God. I can see God working in the ministry through phill because of the passion he's placed in Phils heart. Phil has a huge focus on prayer and prayer for others. Every night before youth a prayer time occurs that you can sense God in. Through this prayer time it prepares the youth leaders for the night. Overall in this ministry area I have seen god working as he is putting passion in leaders to love the youth, and challenge them. For me in particular I have found this desire to pray for those there that are hurting.
          Therefore through the ministry I'm involved in at Bethel Tabernacle I can see god is working in the hearts of the youth and challenging them to think beyond themselves. Therefore also developing strong passionate leaders who will encourage other youth to chase after god by speaking truth into their lives and showing them love.
