			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img border="0" src="http://blog.compassion.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/04/gods-army.gif" alt="gods-army" width="10" height="10" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-4848" /> I have read various articles, columns and statistics on the state of Christendom in America, and the prognosis isn’t good. Christian commentators across the country are doing their best to encourage our churches to get back to the basics, but their pleas seem to fall on deaf ears.</p>
<p>But underneath the apparent complacency plaguing our churches is a revival that God is stirring in the hearts of our young people.  </p>
<p>Like the young boy David who faced the giant Goliath when grown men cowered in fear, it’s times like this that God calls on our young people to bring a revival to His army – to the Church of God.</p>
<p>In my <span class=hdynlink onmouseover="this.style.color='#9E3039'" onmouseout="this.style.color='#0039A6'" onclick="window.location='http://blog.compassion.com/gods-army-of-one/' ">last post</span>, I mentioned how 14-year-old Emily Blake raised tens of thousands of dollars to reach out to as many as 100 children in Kenya suffering from malnutrition and poor hygiene. Now once again, it is another teen who is reaching out to make a difference for children and their families halfway around the world.</p>
<p><img border="0" align="right" hspace="8" vspace="8" src="http://blog.compassion.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/04/biteback_banner300x250.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="250" class="alignright size-full wp-image-4815" />Seventeen-year-old Jordan Foxworthy, daughter of comedian Jeff Foxworthy, recently had the opportunity to see the devastating effects of malaria while visiting Kenya with her family.  </p>
<p>Being moved to action, she helped start the <span class=hdynlink onmouseover="this.style.color='#9E3039'" onmouseout="this.style.color='#0039A6'" onclick="window.open('http://biteback.net','new');">Bite Back Against Mosquitoes campaign</span>.  </p>
<p>Through this campaign, she enlisted many other teens to join the fight against malaria and is encouraging the rest of us to join the fight as well.</p>
