This month, we had the chance to visit two partners in ministry who specialize in gaming outreach: Slingshot in Allentown, PA and Satellite in Salem, OR. Both work with churches and local schools to host events for middle and high school students that can lead to healthy community and a saving relationship with Jesus Christ.
Because they were working with a public school, Satellite leaders couldn’t talk about Jesus. So their director, Jamie, prepared his volunteers using parallels to Jesus’ sending out his own volunteers (Luke 10:1-12).
Just as Jesus sent the 72 “ahead of Him,” we plant and water, trusting Him to bring the transformation. Just as He sent them in pairs, we should watch out for each other.
They were sent as lambs among wolves, which is still true today and we need to be on our guard. It is also still true that the fields are ripe for harvest. Jesus said to let our blessing of peace rest on those who are responsive, so we can invest time with those students we identify as curious, responsive, and open.
Please pray as they follow up those students to invite them into God’s greatest adventure of all!
