Excited that I was able to take part in what God was doing in one of the youth groups students lives. Nick S. came up to me after youth group and had some questions. That night Nick started his relationship with Jesus and now is one of God's children. Praise God! Nick told me that he had been thinking about things since winter retreat. I'm glad God choose to let me be a part of Nick's journey. Please keep Nick in your prayers.
I just finished reading Thriving Youth Groups-secrets for growing your ministry & creating a friendship culture by Jeanne Mayo. I thought it was a really good book with a lot of practical ideas. I would encourage anyone involved in youth ministry to check it out.
I'm amazed at how God chooses to work through all different types of personalities. When I take a moment to self reflect on the youth ministry that I'm apart of I totally see God. I feel like I'm a mess and I'm not doing things right.
