Friday night, at the Kindred Spirit Ministries Fall Retreat, I had the great privilege of singing back-up with my second cousins, John Mark and Moriah Whichard. John Mark is ten and he sang the lead vocal on "Through the Fire". He has a great voice and is already powerfully anointed by the Spirit. It was a joy both to hear him and to see him used of God. The whole church responded as they recognized God's anointing on him.
One of the greatest aspects of Pentecostal worship is its egalitarian nature. There are no barriers of gender, race or even age in Spirit-led worship and a "son or daughter" is just as likely to prophesy in word or in song as a person of an older age or of more experience.
As long as the next generation is willing to be used of God, the Spirit of Pentecost will move on them and use them. The question is, will those of us who are older give Him room to move?

What a wonderful thing it is to see our young people embrace the faith of their forebears and carry on with a passion the ministries we have been involved in. I could feel your sense of accomplishment and satisfaction as you listened to John Mark sing!
