We're busy planning for our next attempt at fundraising for Youth Camp. A 'Singing Evening' fundraiser consists of a church or youth group opening their venue, having food for sale, inviting people to bless the congregation with an 'act of worship' (a song, dance, poem, etc), a Worship Band, and maybe a challenging message. Guests are required to pay a small entry fee (this case Rand 10 = approx $1.5 US) and all proceeds go toward the church's cause.
This event has caused our youth to look beyond a 'hand-out,' have forward thinking, plan in groups, budget and FOLLOW-THROUGH with a task. This has been a big test in leadership and trust. Our youth seem to be taking ownership, feel a sense of pride that they can open their church to the community and raise funds toward going to Camp (9-11 September 2011).
Please pray for this venture and all that it entails. This is a huge experiment and we're praying that it's a success!
