October was a great month to be in the lives of high school kids here in North Shelby and South Tipton Counties. With Fall Break, we were able to take kids on new adventures like horseback riding, canoeing, and camping. Our weekly Clubs have been packed out with 60-80 kids each week. We just had out Halloween Young Life Club led by the seniors and it was one of the most fun meetings that we have had all fall. We also had our Banquet last week where kids served as Work Crew, and our community was able to see the vision and hope for our ministry. Many people joined us as either prayer partners, donors, or even expressed interest in learning more about volunteering. We are excited about these new venues and partners in ministry. If you would like to know more or get involved, please contact us. The spring semester of Young Life is such an unpredictable time! With spring sports and spring weather, it is hard to know who is playing when and where. It also makes for interesting Mondays when soccer, softball, baseball, and track all have a game on the same night!
I love how are Young Life leaders have gone with the flow. -Daniel, a new leader, made his way to the soccer game last week. -Leaders, Tina and Jessica, both went to the same softball game at different times. Divide and conquer, right? -I have been making my way to a couple baseball games and have been spending most of my time helping with football weightlifting on Mondays, Tuesdays, and Thursdays after school. "We loved you so much that we wanted to share with not only the Good News, but our lives too because you had become so dear to us." - 1 Thess 2:8 NLT We go because the love of Christ compels us. Will you pray for us as we go? Thank you! Young Life Club 3/18/13
What a fun night! Had some SharpTop sign ups come in, which is answered prayer! Tina led music with me. It was her first time leading music. She did great. She brought a ton of energy and enthusiasm. Mixer was girls pulling apart guys and guys pulling apart girls. This mixer can get out of hand pretty quick, but I think we flirted the line well of everyone laughing and smiling with no one getting a dislocated shoulder or hip. Thomas and DJ were in the game, so girls put the clothespins on their face until time ran out. Thomas went mind over matter and could handle 42 (pic above)! My wife, Jessica, talked about Martha and Mary and Jesus. She showed how Martha filled her life with things that made her busy, but not whole. Mary was content because she had Jesus. She used a great illustration of a large cutout of a heart with a hole in it, and filled it with various things representing the things high school people tend to fill their life with, such as sports, relationships, school, sex, partying, and money. Each one of those things went right into the heart but did not fill the hole. Only a foam ball with "Jesus" written on it could fill the void, and not just fill it, but over fill it to show how Jesus in us fills our heart and overflows out of our life. Our prayer is that kids will understand their need, so that they might see a willing Savior awaiting to meet it. I pray the same for me. And for you. Will you pray with us? |
