Back to the real world

After 3 FULL weeks of Holiday Club (everyday, all day with the kids/teens), this week I caught up on my paperwork, tried to whittle my emails down, wrote/gathered curriculum for the next 6 months of Afternoon Clubs & made some head-way in the next phase of our Community Leader Development ministry! It was a lot of time at a desk, but it was a nice change.

Meagan & I also got to meet with all our Youth Cell Groups & talked with them about how to fundraise for our up-coming Youth Camp (9-11 Sept 2011)! We have to raise a LOT of money & we want our youth to be the ones behind that; so we all gathered, brainstormed, divided responsibilities & are underway in planning! This whole process was HUGE for us; the concept of working for things is foreign to our youth because so many organizations come & give handouts. The attitude of 'I deserve what you're giving' must stop. Selflessness has ceased because of the poverty of the mind. Our Camp planning is another great step in teaching our youth (and community) how to plan, budget, and work for what they need and want! This is a challenge & a PROCESS.
