CROSSFIRE YOUTH MINISTRY...WE ARE....
Saved by the blood of Jesus Christ Holy Ghost-filled Counselors Helpers Comforters Exhorters Edifiers Believers
“And I sought for a man among them, who should make up the hedge, and stand in the gap before Me for the land, that I should not destroy it: but I found none”(Ezekiel 22:30).
Among the citizens of Jerusalem, none were found able or willing to attempt a reformation, or call the nation to prayer. There was no one willing or faithful enough to seek God through intercession on Jerusalem’s behalf. Whether in the Old Testament times of Jerusalem, or today in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, each generation of youth is much the same: lost and dying, unless they come to a saving knowledge of Jesus Christ. Who He was, who He is, and who they are in Him. We have a world full of lost and backslidden teenagers who are either being fed a lukewarm message, or just brushed off as a hopeless case. These young men and women will die eternally lost, unless there is a move of the Holy Spirit. But Crossfire Youth Ministries has taken a stand to fill this gap and to make a difference for God today. We are standing in the gap for the lost and the indifferent youth of this world. We will not sit idly by and watch them waste away because of false teaching and worldly lures.
“Let no man despise your youth; but be thou an example of the Believers, in word, in conversation, in charity, in spirit, in faith, in purity”(I Timothy 4:12).
True spiritual growth is not measured by age, but by what you know. Every believer is called to be an example, to set the pattern. But how can we set a proper example for our youth if we’re not brave enough to tell them “The Truth”. Scripture tells us to “Come out from among them, and be ye separate, saith the Lord”. We are in this world but we are not of it. We stand in the blood of Christ, not outside of it. We preach, teach, and believe the Cross of Christ, and have our faith firmly planted in what Jesus did for us at Calvary. We realize that it is a finished work through His death, burial, and resurrection. Understanding Christ and Him crucified is what produces real change, through conviction and repentance of sins. For that is the real Gospel of Jesus Christ: a message that leads to conviction, repentance, and produces true change. We are all this and more. But above all, we are unique soldiers of one accord in Christ standing in the gap for today’s youth, attempting to make up the hedge by raising the standard.
We are Crossfire Youth Ministries.
