The Bank Is Open!

One more answered prayer! 

As great as Young Leaders Group has been this year, we have been missing something.  For over a year now, I have been so much hoping to see a young man named Bank join us.  Bank is a regular at church and a member of the worship team, playing guitar.  He is in a serious dating relationship, though, and between that and a full time job, has been busy and we just could not get him to come join us.  I have been praying for him to just come one time, for over a year now.  Well, while I was in the US, John and Isra and I joined Young Leaders by Skype over the internet and I was shocked to see Bank sitting there with the other guys.

That is all it took.  Since then, Bank has been so excited about Young Leaders and just being with his church brothers and taking part in everything.  Last week, he helped with the slum Christmas party, where he was tremendous with the kids.  I am SO happy and blessed to see what is going on with him.  One of the best parts of the last two or three weeks are the emails and facebook messages I get from Bank, simply saying things like, "I am so happy!"  Well, so am I, buddy!

Bank is going with us to Young Leaders camp in two weeks and I have asked him to share his story with all of the guys.  He was happy to agree.  God is good!
