"New WAve"


"NNnnnnNNNNnnNeeeeWWw WAaaaAVvEEE"....

....is the chant you hear during our gatherings, get-together's, retreats, & occasionally in the halls of the church.

not really a chant but a holler~ i wanna say a cry that represents unity and identity within the youth of EMC.

Since MArch i've dedicated and have been serving the "New WAve" youth... and it's been fun =)

just came back from a youth camp/outing for 3 days 2 nights, it was fun.

good fellowship, good company, not so good bathrooms...but we still praise Jesus.

but more than a fun experience, i pray that the 15 members of the "New WAve" begin to understand this calling to be a Christian in a world that is not-so-Christian.

"it's not about us.... it's about Jesus"

the world may ridicule us, mock us, curse us, reject us, call us crazy.......... but we gotta understand, they did the same to Jesus..... we're in good company, feel me?

to stand amongst the lines of apostle Paul, Moses, Esther, JEsus, etc... we gotta understand:

 "Therefore, since we are surrounded by such a great cloud of witnesses, let us throw off EVERYTHING that hinders and the sin that so easily entangles, and let us run with perseverance the race marked out for us. Let us fix our eyes on Jesus, the author and perfecter of our faith, who for the joy set before him endured the cross, scorning its shame, and sat down at the right hand of the throne of God. Consider him who endured such opposition from sinful men, so that you will not grow weary and lose heart." Hebrews 12:1-3

this is to be a life-changing truth in our lives..... hope.

the New Wave is not about.... pride or clicks or biases......

but it's about the new generation.... the youthful generation... the upcoming "clouds of witnesses"...

they have a calling, to b salt and light in a world of bitterness & darkness.

Please pray for a new wave of passionate youth to bring good tidings and the gospel message in which will emanate from their lives!

Les do this~ NNNNnnnnNEEwwwW WAAAVVEeeEEE! =)

the power of "Velveeta"
holla~
