We're already halfway through 2006, if you can believe it. Opening the doors of our generation. Are you beginning to see it happen? How many doors have been blasted open? How many are still locked? Wherever you are, there's still more to be done...

This Wednesday be prepared for another night of ENCOUNTER.
What does it mean really? To encounter?

• Do you come to catch up with friends? (Nothing wrong with that.)
• Do you come because you really need someone to talk to?
• Do you come because you are in need? Physical sickness maybe? Emotional perhaps?

Or look at it another way...

• Do you not come because you don't have the time?
• Do you not come because it's a waste of a precious night that could be been better spend doing.... whatever?
• Do you not come because there are barriers - spiritual or physical?

The reason for Encounter: we're there to encounter God!!
"We can't encounter God in just 2 hours," comments one. Really? Then look at it this way:

• What if you're one step away from God breaking through in your life?
• What if you're just one more prayer away from a miracle?
• What if you're just one more leap of faith from God showing you your calling?
• What if...?

Perhaps an attitude change is required. Encounter and Networks isn't just another event. It's a chance to draw near to God. Not only that, it's your chance to encourage someone. Make it a point: CHOOSE to take one step closer to God and to be a blessing in others lives. It is guaranteed: you will be blessed more so than with a "what's in it for me?" mindset. Some of you (me included) would be thinking: "Young Adults can be so much more, and I don't want to settle for where we're at right now."

Well, guess what? We need to BE THE CHANGE TO SEE THE CHANGE.

It starts with us.
