This Week’s Theme: The Power of Love – by Ken Turner, June 1, 2018
Ephesians 4:32
And be ye kind one to another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, even as God for Christ’s sake hath forgiven you.
Thought for today…
Life is full of challenges, and many of those challenges involve people. Since God is kind, tenderhearted, and forgiving toward us, why not be more kind, more tenderhearted, and more forgiving to those around you? It’s this kind of behavior that impacts the world and opens doors to share the gospel.

You meet so many people in life, but there are a few of those relationships that carry on forever.
My friend Joshua Goodling is one of those life-long friendships. We met in college, became friends, and God continues to use Joshua in my life on a weekly basis to strengthen my faith, and I believe He continues to use me in Joshua’s life in much the same way. It’s one of my “iron sharpens iron” relationships.
Have you ever met someone given “zero chance of survival?” I hadn’t until I met Joshua. You’ll need to read the story on his website because I can’t do it justice here. But at age four, his parents were informed his chance of living was zero, and he was given one week to live. That was in the 1960’s so as Joshua would say, “It’s been a long week.”
Over the past few years, Joshua’s life has taken many unexpected turns. After a very successful career as a web engineer with WebMD and then on to PGI, another international company based in Atlanta, he could not escape the burning desire to impact others for Christ by sharing his message of God’s power to overcome all obstacles.
Joshua has spoken to over 15,000 youth in the metro Atlanta area over the past few years. He receives invitations all school year long to talk to students and FCA clubs and entire school assemblies. He also speaks to churches and youth groups.
Today, at 12:00 noon, Joshua is signing the closing documents on his condo in Atlanta and plans to buy a truck and small RV and devote his life to sharing the message of God’s power to change lives to youth and adults.
Joshua has a contract to do web development projects for an Atlanta based company which helps provide for his needs, but there are some who have stepped up to support Joshua through our High Impact Teen outreach.
I wanted to share Joshua’s news with you, asking you to put Joshua on your prayer list and consider inviting Joshua to speak to youth in your community or at your church.
If you know of anyone with a smaller (20-24 foot) RV to sell, please pass that information along! Joshua is looking for a truck also.
Learn more about Joshua’s story, how to invite him as a speaker and how to support his ministry at JoshuaGoodling.com
You can also support Joshua through High Impact Teens by going to our giving page and making a donation today.
For Youth,

This Week’s Theme: The Power of Love – by Ken Turner, May 31, 2018
Luke 10:27
And he answering said, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy strength, and with all thy mind; and thy neighbour as thyself.
Thought for today…
When we love God with all our heart, with a heart fully devoted to Him, it comes natural to love our neighbors and do all we can to make a difference in the lives of others.

This Week’s Theme: The Power of Love – by Ken Turner, May 30, 2018
I John 4:11
Beloved, if God so loved us, we ought also to love one another.
Thought for today…
If God loves us, and if God loves our neighbors, and the stranger in the grocery store, and people in our church, and our co-workers, and our relatives, then we should also love one another. We should be imitators of God in all ways, especially in our capacity to love.

I John 4:7
Beloved, let us love one another: for love is of God; and every one that loveth is born of God, and knoweth God.
Thought for today…
Love is of God. He is the source of holy and judicious love. Since God is the source of love, everyone who is born of God can love others in ways that mirror God’s divine nature. Through the power of God and His love, you can effectively love in the most challenging situations. Ask Him today to expand and empower your ability to love others with a real “love that comes from God.”
