Firestarters at HDC ~ by Alicia Kanode

We enjoyed another amazing night ministering at the Harrisburg Discipleship Center (HDC)! We had the privilege to meet with the YES (Youth Evangelism Service) teams on their last night of training before they left for their outreach locations.

We started with a time of worship led by Austin and Lauren. During worship, Jen invited anyone to share Scripture, pictures or words that they felt the Lord was speaking to them. This was a very powerful time as students and staff members alike shared pictures and concepts that God was putting on their hearts. One girl spoke and sang in tongues and invited others to share if God gave them an interpretation. Through that time, God brought a message about coming to Him on multiple levels – for forgiveness, in worship, etc.

The group then split into their outreach teams – the Kenya team, Honduras team and HDC staff team. The EMM (Eastern Mennonite Missions) Discipleship Ministries staff joined with Firestarters staff to pray and prophesy over each team. It was so neat to see the flow of unity in this partnership as we ministered to and with the YES team members and HDC staff. God spoke to and encouraged each team as He poured His love and truth into their hearts. We can’t wait to hear the stories and testimonies from their outreaches!
