Last night - after the super bowl - some of the youth group kids, and a few of their parents, got together at the church to prep for a ministry trip fundraiser lunch this afternoon.
A) Everyone worked well and hard, and things seemed to go quickly and smoothly. (Somehow, my brother even got roped into helping, even though he hasn't been on a HS ministry trip in almost four years... My sister just has skills at being stubborn like that.)
B) While I was elbow deep in lemonade powder and they were busy trying to cut vegetables on paper cutting boards, two of the girls started asking questions about the Focus Month - or justice trip, or whatever you want to call it. One of them knew about it already and has been praying about coming. The other one had never heard of it before last night.
I am admittedly terrible at trying to talk the trip up cold turkey, but, ask me questions about it, and I am more than willing to answer. So, that was a very cool God thing for them to just bring it up like that.
Slowly but surely, I can see God starting to pull together the team for the trip, and it is an amazing thing to watch.
(Now, I just have to keep up my end of the deal and keep telling people about it!)
