Dear friend,

We are in a war. We are fighting for the lives of our children, whether they are still
young or teens, young adults or college students, the battle is on! Our children
need the adults in their lives to step up and believe God for them, intercede for
them, and encourage them in the Lord.

The United States Center for Disease Control Prevention reports that there is an
average 3,703 attempted suicides per year by teenagers in grades nine to twelve.
It’s hard to believe this, but there were 49,300 suicide deaths recorded in 2023
alone. Only the Lord God Almighty Himself can bring these numbers down.
The good news is that Jesus always receives the person who comes to Him.

36  But I said to you that you have seen me and yet do not believe. 
37  All that the Father gives me will come to me, and whoever comes
to me I will never cast out. 
John 6:36,37 (ESV)

Don’t give up on your children. Those good seeds are going to take root and bring
a harvest in their lives. Keep praying and keep fighting the good fight.

Jesus is the Good News, and Jesus always wins!

Pastor Jo
