How do you begin to sum up 8 days of training and spiritual growth? Institute was a whirlwind of information and connecting with the heart of God. I am re-energized to connect with my volunteer staff and students to use the tools of YFC (3 Story and other training). It was really hard to be away from my wife and daughter for that amount of time, but it was great training. I will be sorting through my notes for weeks to come.
My volunteer staff has run the last weeks of club and done an amazing job. Aleck gave the talk two weeks ago and Mandy last week. I love having talented people reaching these students, but know to adequately reach every student on that campus we will need more!
On a side note dodge ball will be starting next week. Practices have already been going on, and I have included what our jerseys will look like. Scotty Barnes has done a story that graced the front page of the local paper (the Fern Ridge Review). Hopefully you get a chance to pick up a copy and see how we continue to make strides in the community. In about a months time we hope to have a meeting to develop a community support team for the Campus Life ministry in our area. The point of a meeting like this is to generate community awareness and involvement to keep the ministry sustainable in our community. One thing we do is turn excess into quality, and what I mean by that is take excess time and money and invest it in the students. The hope is we can do more of that and make this a ministry area that is constantly supported.
