It's been awhile...

True, it has been some time since my last post. For this I sincerely apologize as this blog began with the intent of posting almost everyday. I had hoped that this would be a real means of communicating all that is going on in the Student Ministries of CRPC, as well as a place to share thoughts, musings, experiments and ideas. However, I have found it much harder to do that than initially expected. So, that coupled with the often discouraging lack of comments and interaction has caused a sense of waste in these writings.

Then I remember that it is not necessarily how many people view this blog, comment on posts or even get anything out of accidently coming across this page; but it is an issue of being faithful and committed to what I've began. So, with that in mind - I write.

Things have been a little crazy around here. Not just in ministry but in my personal life as well. I feel like I have been very absent as of late. I have been out of town for various things such as Spiritual Retreats, getaways, concerts and 50th birthdays. All of this has really been good, but it has also really jumbled my schedule. So I am glad to finally have a bunch of that travel behind me.

The ministry is going well! We have established a student leadership team and have had 3 meetings already. I have high hopes and expectations for these students. Our mid-week programs continue to be a good time to fellowship with students and speak truth into their lives. We are currently looking in to how we can make these programs better. Sunday school is also continuing on. This is a wonderful time of fellowship, rest and learning. I pray that these times are not a waste and that God would use these times to really touch the hearts and lives of our students.

With all that, please keep (or start) praying for us. We desperately need God to work in our lives and in the students lives.


For His Kingdom...

My name is Jenny Davell. I am a graduate of Westminister Academy and a former member of Gangway youth group! I loved learning Evangelism Explosion at Gangway. I was wondering if you have any more of the YOUTH EE books. I really need to have a copy. I am student at the Kanakuk Institute and we are learning EE. I would love to teach the YOUTH EE and not the adult one, since we are ministering to youth. If you could mail me one, I would appreciate it SO MUCH.

Jenny,

We have moved from away from traditional "youth EE" and are now doing what's called "X-EE." I have the training stuff for that, but if you want the old stuff I can see if I can dig something up.
Just let me know.
Thanks for the comment :)

I would love the old book. I believe it was spiral bound. How similar is X-EE? I assume that's for generation X? Thanks for responding so quickly.

Chris,
Do not be discouraged!! I believe there are many parents like myself that are reading your blog, but doesn't leave comments... You are an inspiration for our boys (and girls)! Keep up the good work!
In His grace,
