GRAVITY UPDATE

A lot of amazing things are happening at GRAVITYyouthchurch. We have got off to a great start to the new school year. Our first back to school event had 600 students in attendance. There was over 150 teenager that flooded the Altar for salvation.

We have also kicked off Bus Ministry to all the major High Schools in the Omaha area. The first week buses where filled to capacity. God is doing great things and the church is growing. So pumped to see all that God is going to do.

We are about to go on our "PASSION" Fall Renewal retreat. Looking to take 175-200 students with us to Kansas City for a powerful time with God. Then it is off to "AMPLIFY: Youth Revival with Jayme Montera, Rich Wilkerson Jr., and Jurgen Matthesius. It is going to be a powerhouse event. I am so excited to see the growth in GRAVITY this school year. More details to come....

"5" COMPEL NIGHTS

Last week we had a amazing night at GRAVITYyouthchurch. We had 490 students and 35 salvations. It has been so awesome to see the students of GRAVITY finish the school year strong. I am excited to see what God is doing.

As we are ramping up for the summer I am believing we are going to have the best summer yet. With our missions trip to Haiti in July, Summer Internship, and tons of Campus training I am very excited to get into the summer. I believe that are students are going to get bigger and stronger in God this summer.

Youth Pastor take advantage of all that you can accomplish in the summer. It is a awesome time to build students into Campus Missionaries.

Until next time,

Pastor Jesse

ACCELERATE 10k RUN

This year's Accelerate 10k Run was a huge success. GRAVITY set out to raise 15,000 dollars to make a difference in the city of Omaha. The students at GRAVITY stepped up big and raised over 20,000 dollars. I am so proud of our students.

We will be buying buses to run at High Schools during the 2010-2011 school year. We are looking to add 200 students to GRAVITY with the addition of these buses. It is amazing to see what God can do when many people work together for a cause.

This has been the most exciting year of youth ministry, and I am so pumped to see what God is going to do next school year.

Can't say it enough how proud I am of everyone that worked so hard to make this event happen.

Thank you!

LAST NIGHT!

Last Night at GRAVITY was incredible. Preached on Obedience and challenging people to follow the call of God on their lives. It was amazing to see over 100 students respond that felt a call on their life.

The cry of my heart is to raise up a generation that lives their lives called not just saved. One of the things that I think helps students live out what God has put in their heart is to tell someone about it. This is what we had students do last night.

1. Respond to the Altar Call and Cry out to God.

2. Share with a Leader what they felt God was calling them to.

3. Have the leader pray over them.

4. Write down on a Altar Card what their game plan was going to be to chase after what God had put in their heart.

To many time I think that we teach students to have a experience with God which is great. They also need to have a plan on how they are going to live after that experience. They need to write it down and share it with someone. This helps them to seal the message in their hearts and to have accountability to the vision God has given them.

It was such a powerful night. I am so looking forward to "5" week 3 next Wednesday. It is carnival night and it is going to be a blast. Hope to see you their at 5:30pm.

THE BLESSING OF HARD WORK

Many people want to see God do big things in their church and city. If our work ethic does not line up with our desire we will be held back. I believe that God has called His church to have a work ethic that astounds the world. Our dedication to the kingdom of God should be greater than any man working for a fortune 500 company. What if pastors and leaders turned our hopes and desires into hard work? I believe we spend many wasted hours and energy hope and thinking about how we want to see things change, but never put our hand to the plow. I believe if we became more about action and less about talking we would see much more happen in the kingdom of God.

God will move in your moving!!! So get moving on the things that God has put in your heart. You can do it! Get to work and watch what God will do when you give it all.

ACCELERATE 10K RUN

On May 2nd GRAVITYyouthchurch is putting on a 10k Run to raise money for our WE ARE GRAVITY campaign. This year we have set out to raise over 50, 000 dollars to go towards buses, campus car, and many other things. It has been so encouraging to see the students of GRAVITY get behind the vision for 2010.

This years run in going to be a big success. So far we have had about 9,000 dollars come in. I am excited to see what God is going to do in the next couple of weeks. We are believing that we are going to see 16,000 dollars come in before the race. This would help us to run buses to all of our major High Schools in the Omaha area. We are fully expecting to see the church explode in the 2010-2011 school year.

If you would like to get involved in the race or donate you can visit www.accelerate10krun.com.

5 MILLARD NORTH

Last night GRAVITY kick off "5" Compel Nights at Millard North. We have a great turn out and God moved powerfully. 30 Salvations and many lives touch. I am so proud of our students at Millard North and all that they did on their campus. I am pumped to see what God is going to do over the next 4 weeks.

When we started this event I wanted to challenge GRAVITY to end the school year better than they started. I have always wanted to be a pastor that challenged people to finish well. I believe that God blesses faithfulness and longevity. I am so proud of our students and how they are finishing the school year strong.

Until next week!!
