Protecting one of our own

Yesterday was really hot.  I'm not just saying it was unpleasant.  It was hot, humid, and it made you feel like you were moving in slow motion.
One of our students got a little hot yesterday during lunch.  He thought he was going to be sick so he quickly ran to the bathroom.
It was awesome to see our students take action.  Our guys and girls came to his side to make sure he was okay.  We had a few boys inside the bathroom with him, and many of them outside waiting and praying for him to feel better.
This is what we should look for when we are searching for spiritual growth.  Nobody had to ask the youth to do any of this.  Our students genuinely care about one another.  Throughout the rest of the day I heard many students checking up on this one to make sure he was okay.  They didn't do it to be recognized.
We are seeing a lot of growth throughout our students.  I've seen many of the older youth step up in major ways.  We've seen students presenting the gospel to others.  We've seen students talk about difficult issues with one another.  Our students just won't give up!  Praise God!

Continue to pray for our students that they remain safe and healthy.

FYI - Ben felt much better later that afternoon.  Everything is back to normal.
