Ministry Actvities
Sunday Night 2hrs
Ministry Reflection
The importance of fellowship was shown on Sunday night. We broke the kids up into groups and asked them to talk about needs, concerns and prayer in their lifes. It took awhile for the kids to get going, but after awhile and when it was time to move on some of them were still praying. Just like IWU we brought up the topic of advent. Andrew started talking to the kids and asking them what is important about Christmas. He started to challenge them to give more of themselves this season, not only to others, but to God. For the most part the kids were really receptive to it and walked away with some ideas. This semester has been great overall. I have scene the ups and downs of ministry. There were some nights were no kids showed up and it was just my youth pastor and I, but that was nice, because we were able to talk about direction and just become in a better more glorifying relationship. On the other hand there were some nights were it was crazy and there was a ton of kids and it really exciting. I could never expect to have a certain constant number of kids show up and I believe that was a good lesson for me to learn.

This past week was a little better, I have had less distraction and have been able to spend more time with God. I am still reading the Wild at Heart book, and through my reading I believe it has challenged me to become more of a passion filled person and a man in Christ that feels I have more of a calling than ever.

Ministry Reflection
This was a slow week, there was no Sunday night youth group, because of Thanksgiving break. So all we had this week was the Wednesday night small groups. Small groups are going great. Like I mentioned in earlier post this is the first time the youth pastor is bring small groups since he as been the youth pastor. So there has been some hinderance on the part of the kids. There has not been big attendance to the small groups, but the kids that have been going have been asking good quesitons and we have just all been growing in our relationships. The night went well, we mainly talked about how we need to have our identity in God, and when we do that nothing can seperate us from our identity. After the night Andrew and I talked about a youth seminar coming up and I get to go, which I am totally pumped for. Another thing that we talked about is after Christmas break I will get to lead more youth groups, and that will be great training for me.

This week has been interesting, I did alot of homework over break and in coming back I thought that I would have alot of free time to have fun and keep growing with God. Although I have been getting fairly distracted, with empty tasks. I really need to get rid of these and begin filing more of my free time with more benefical tasks.
