We need to keep our goal in front of us

Staff and Volunteers you are the best of the best!

Last night was wild again. We are learning as we go but even while we learn we are doing our best to love kids.

The most important part of club is not the content of the meeting. If it was I would be very discouraged. But it is not, we are a bridge to the church and everything we do needs to be viewed through that lens. Our boiled down vision is “We plant the un-churched into a church.” That’s our step in the ladder. Looking through that lens we are right on schedule.

We may make some changes after Christmas in how we break up the group. We have their attention, now we need to plant them.

As I looked around last night I wondered, what adult would want to do this?. It takes a very mature person and a Christian that really “gets it” to see the whole process and to love Christ in the most tangible possible way, loving someone in his name that can be unlovely. I think it is the sweetest possible worship to our Lord when we serve someone in his name. The harder it is to serve, the less we like them, the more we love them because Christ loved us I think the more meaningful it is to Jesus. I only have to read again the story of the good Samaritan to know it is true. That’s how I want to love, expecting nothing in return because of what I have already received, forgiveness.

You get it, that’s why you are the best staff and volunteers anywhere. Don’t give up, God Bless You!
