LEADERSHIP UPDATE
Leaders, it is my joy to be able to address you in this newsletter. I say that because one on hand I never want to take for granted several things:
The God-given time we have left on this earth to fulfill God’s purpose and design for our lives. It should always humble us when Scripture constantly reminds us that our time here is short and yet God has a plan for our lives.
We get to do ministry...with youth. I hope this reality always stirs your heart towards joy. We get to come alongside the lives and souls of teens in this particular time in their life. We get to walk with families as give us permission to speak life into their lives.
For this month I wanted to give some vision and groundwork as to where our ministry is going. I believe all of you should have received a google keep with the calendar for the month of April. It’s a busy month in terms of activities but don’t get caught up thinking that this isn’t “real” ministry. Everything we do leads us in a process of discipleship. So whether we do CG’s or “just prep” work, discipleship foundations are ever-present. Take advantage of every single moment with the students and keep your eyes and heart open for opportunities to teach and to show love.
COMMUNITY BUILDING
ENGAGING YOUTH: SEXUAL IDENTITY
At the end of this month, we're going to combine our monthly leadership meeting with parents meeting and either have someone come in person or we're going to view their DVD material together. I know this topic is not only difficult to address because of our context, but this topic is complex on so many levels and we're going to need all the help we can get. So leaders, take a look over the website and begin to prep for it.
Our Mission:
Living Hope’s mission is to proclaim God’s truth as we journey with those seeking sexual and relational wholeness through a more intimate relationship with Jesus Christ.
