Parenting Teens: There is Always Something To Worry About

 The kids are going to Power Plant instead of World Changers this year. World Changers is a service outreach evangelism project. The kids share to gospel and God’s love while repairing people’s houses. The service usually involves repairing roofs. Roofs are usually located high enough off ground that falling off would involve some level of injury. The service projects seem to be scheduled in the hottest areas of the country and involve traveling at least 6 hours from home.

My kids have loved these evangelistic out reaches. It is a measure of how much I trust our church staff that they get to go each year. Each year I would worry and pray for the kids’ safety.

This year they are going to Power Plant. A church planting outreach in hot areas of the country at least 6 hours from home. No roofs were involved so I was not concerned this year about my kids safety. Actually I was so unconcerned I didn’t go to the information meetings.

My Mistake. While there is no roof repair involved the ministry takes place in some gang controlled areas of Atlanta. Gangs as in do not where black, blue, red or purple. As in do not wear a ball cap. As in mom will be worrying and letting worry direct me to prayer again this year.

¹⁹Pray also for me, that whenever I open my mouth, words may be given me so that I will fearlessly make known the mystery of the gospel, ²⁰for which I am an ambassador in chains. Pray that I may declare it fearlessly, as I should. Eph 6

That is my prayer for them this year. I am grateful they are not in chains.
