  This weekend is the "Ministry Team Retreat". It's a weekend where we "go bush" and plan the year, learn stuff, pray and bond as a team - as the Youth Ministry Team. It's always pretty fun but full on too. Please pray 4 us this weekend and all this year eh? I've been reading the BEST book - called the "Youth Builder" by Jim Burns - the dude who trained Doug Fields .
Neways - it has the most profound stuff in it! One such quote was "What students need today is not an adult that dresses like they do, knows all the latest trends in youth cultureor even talks like they do. What students need today are adultsthat are crazy about them and are willing to share their lives with them. " Not bad yeah? " The bottom line in youth work is not how many kids are in your youth ministry now. The bottom line is where your kids will be in 5-10 years time.
