Yesterday Jamie and I had a chance to be "youth sponsors" again. We traveled an hour and a half to Onalska, WI, (close to Minnesota) to assist with their junior high ministry. Guess what we played? Dodgeball! I got to speak about Leah and Rachel, how they competed for Jacob's love. I explained how when we try to find love only from other people, they will let us down. Only God can love us and give us the acceptance and self-worth we seek. After that we taught them Four on the Couch...not the easiest game to teach to 14 guys and 3 girls, most of whom bounced around and couldn't sit still. We had a good time though.
The pastor of the church meets in my LDJ group (a group of pastors who meet for prayer, fellowship and sharing). He invited us to help out whenever we can since we don't have a Wednesday night program at our church, and they only have a few "sponsors"....no youth pastor. Hopefully we'll be able to go back again.
Also, last night we met a guy who creates websites. It sounds like we'll be able to create a church website with him. We'll see how that goes. Its amazing how God works things out and connects us with other people. Its amazing how one night of hanging out with junior high boys boosts your spirits. Praise God for his goodness to us.
To all you Brookhaven Paradigm readers, we miss you guys and wish we could be there!
