This was a prophecy strongly impressed upon the heart of one of our youth at a recent Flame service which they felt led to share with all of us. Please read it, pray about it and act upon it in the way you feel most led to by the Holy Spirit and with His wisdom foremost in your mind.

I was just praying and asking God what He wants us, as a youth group, to do now that we have been commissioned with a mission [on the last day of Overwhelmed Camp].
I felt Him tell me that He wants to break our hearts for the lost and unsaved.
If we don't have a heart for people who do not know God, how are we going to do this mission that God has given us to do (telling the lost about Him)? We need to have that broken and aching heart for them, otherwise we have nothing compelling us to tell them about God; nothing that gives us that passion to step out and tell them about God.
God has broken my heart for the lost before, and it was a really painful thing—my chest hurt a lot and I was weeping. God obviously only shared with me a small amount of the pain He feels for His children that turn their backs on Him, and I cant imagine how intense that pain must be that God Himself feels for His children.
Let God break your heart for the lost; let God show you how He feels for His sons and daughters; how much His heart aches for them to come to Him, to turn to Him.
But remember, it’s a big thing to ask God for, so be sure you want God to use you in this way.
