    LKNOTT> Thanks for your prayers, Lisa :)

My daughter is 15 years old and a member of the diversity club at her
school.  Last Friday night at youth service, she testified about how
she was interview along with several other club members for an article 
for the school newspaper.  

The interviewees were to discuss their personal religious beliefs.  My
daughter spoke about the oneness of God, the necessity for baptism of
the water and the spirit, the essentiality of the name of Jesus, and
the initial evidence of speaking in other tongues.

She has been flooded with questions since the article appeared in
print, and now has several students that want to attend a youth
service with her so they can find out about these thinggs firsthand
for themselves!

So pray and review your doctrinal principles before the panel
discussion, and I expect that you too will generate enough curiousity
that a similar thing will happen to you, and the church will be
enlarged.
