"God Surprised Me"

Unit GroupsMuch like Real Talk, Unit Groups tend to lean towards the more casual side. During Unit Groups, teens and youth workers sit together to discuss real-life issues and how they tie in with Scripture from the Bible. We consider Unit Groups to be a safe environment where teens are encouraged to be as honest as they feel.

What's Real Talk All About?Real Talk is a special time we have together to discuss a variety of topics. Sometimes we do mini Bible studies and other times we share with each other the things we're going through in life. No matter what we're discussing on a given Wednesday, the most important part about it is that we're always challenged and encouraged to live our lives for Jesus. Whether you're a teen or a youth worker, there is so much value in having something like Real Talk to help you grow in the Lord.

Water BaptismLast night's baptismal service was truly amazing. We were so glad to witness three of our very own, Blaise, Johnny and Ronald, get baptized yesterday. We are so incredibly happy that they have decided to take on this act of obedience to show others what Jesus has done in their lives. We love you both so much and we cannot wait to see what else God has in store of you!

Meet DavieI grew up in church and always knew about God, but I never fully committed to either. I would always pray and talk to God, but I didn’t give my life to Him until the end of my sophomore year at high school.
That year I was at my worst; I tried to find myself in all of the wrong places. So while I was "searching", I did some not-so-great things as I tried to look "cool" and fit in. But as time went on, I finally realized that this wasn’t God’s plan for me. For all the years of trying to find my own way, I found out that Jesus was the path I was searching for the whole entire time. So during the summer, I cried out to God and He met me. He touched my life and changed me. He made me a new person. He renewed me and He’s making me better everyday. I do my best to read my Word and surround myself with godly people to help keep me grounded in the Lord. It’s especially hard as a teen to keep your eyes on Him, but everyday I pray that my heart continues to hunger for Jesus so I can grow stronger in Him everyday. For all that He has done for me, giving my life to Jesus is the least I can do. |

Verses to Have Hidden In Our Hearts |
ANYC Real Talk: FearIn one of our Real Talk meetings, Margie, an ANYC youth worker, shared about fear. She spoke about how fear can be very real and that there are all kinds of it. Fear can range from things as silly a fear of insects all the way to a fear of failure or death. Everyone has feared something at least once, and it's okay to admit that. You'd be surprised how many people feel the same things as you do.
Sometimes though, fear can overtake our thoughts. Fear can disrupt the things we enjoy, like hanging out with friends or listening to your favorite music. Sometimes fear makes us forget that we have someone to help us get through what we're scared of. That someone is Jesus. A lot of the time we forget that Jesus wants us to talk to Him. He wants us to be honest with Him. Jesus understands fear! Even though He's perfect, He understands exactly what we're going through. Jesus felt everything we feel. When Jesus was on that cross, don't you think He was scared? Of course He was! But He didn't give in to the temptation of fear. He asked God for the grace and strength to have His fear taken away. So remember, that same Jesus is with you today. So don't fear. |

Colossians Bible StudyStudying the book of Colossians for four weeks in January caused me to realize how much we need the Word of God. The book starts with emphasizing the supremacy of Christ and how He should be first in every area of our lives. The only way that truth can become real to me and to the rest of ANYC is by living in the Word and knowing who Jesus truly is. I'm excited to continue to do that in 2017.

Baptismal Service- December 2016
There was a time in my life where I felt like my faith had just disappeared. I started feeling down and things weren’t going my way. I hated feeling this way because it was just the person I was. I had family issues, friend issues, and even problems with boys; they all hit me at once and honestly, God wasn’t my first choice and seeking Him with prayer didn’t interest me either. I started to distance myself and shut down, I felt alone, isolated and unhappy.
Later on, I began to attend teen nights and Real Talk (formerly known as "Take Me Deeper") where I connected with most of the teens. Listening to people’s testimonies and hearing them share how God has changed them really made a big impact on my life. Once I heard those testimonies, I was angered with myself. I thought that shutting down and ignoring all my problems would help them go away. I didn’t like the person I had become because I had the tendency to run away from all my problems. There were times when we read God’s word and I felt a heavy weight lifted off my shoulders and my chest. I didn’t feel alone anymore. I have been heart-broken, betrayed, and have had promises broken by people that I thought were my friends. Now I know and believe that God is holding me and is keeping me. The devil is very sneaky, he wants us to run away from God instead of drawing nearer to Him. He tempts us to do bad things, think bad things and he wants us to stay bitter, cold and isolated from the world. But you need to have a relationship with God, go further, understand who you are walking with and understand His word. Keep asking, keep seeking and keep wanting. I don’t know what you all are going through, but honestly it can all be taken care of if you leave it in God’s hands. Let Him guide you and let Him into your heart. I’m still learning to do all of these things. With all of the sins that I have committed, God has never left my side. He has never thought differently of me. When I need a friend or someone to just listen to me, He’s there. He may not be there physically, but spiritually His presence is all around me. I realized that the things I wanted from people could not fulfill or exceed my expectations like God could. You can’t compare the love that people provide to the love that God provides, it’s unconditional. I can see a big difference from when I first came with a heavy hate-filled and sad heart; to feeling relieved and knowing I’m on the right path by continuing to learn who God is and the power that He has. |
ANYC Pajama Party- December 2016Dear Teens,Holding onto pain, betrayal, disappointment, rejection, and so on does nothing but make you BITTER and MISERABLE. Forgive as your Savior has forgiven you. Release their offenses into God's hands so you can move onto greater things. It's a choice that YOU have to make regardless of how your past went down. Leave your troubles with God and watch Him do the rest!
Love, The Youth Workers at ANYC "Forgive as the Lord forgave you."
-Colossians 3:13 Thirst
