My name is Jason Gant and I am the Director of Student Ministries at The United Methodist Church of the Resurrection. I work with the best staff team in all of youth ministry reaching 6th grade-college life. I also lead the "Vibe" worship venue on Sunday mornings in the Student Center. I just released my first book (a ministry guide between Resurrection and Abingdon Press designed to encourage and equip youth ministry leaders in the smaller church setting). I am married to Scharme, and we have two daughters.

Vibe prayers already answered

Last night we asked the student and adult leaders what there hopes were for the new Vibe worship service......months and months ago my prayer for the start of this service was the following; that families would worship together, that all ages would come together in this new setting, that students would desire to lead this service, that Wednesday night students would bridge into the weekend services, that God would provide the resources and people if this was indeed His will......The students shared the following words

"I hope to bring my whole family to worship on Sundays with me"

"I hope to see people of all generations worshiping here together in the student center"

"I hope to invite my friends to worship with me Sunday morning here"

"I hope my friends that come Wednesday night will come on Sundays"

It is truly amazing how the Holy Spirit works! After hearing these words come through the voices of student leaders training on tech, ushering, and praying over the space, I am not the least bit worried about what God will do in this sacred time of Worship. My only concern now is that we will quickly run out of space!
