I like that ! As understand Jesus he became a friend first around frying some fish at the lake shore. Going along the beach kicking up sand and being a normal human. The boys liked the atmosphere around him and were able to trust in what he said. He knew there was a lot of territory to be claimed in their lives. But he knew also that "Mighty Men of God" would be the result of his times spent in fellowship with the boys.
Now he tells us: Imitate me, do as I do and I will make you fishers of men. Fry some fish or hot dogs and at the same time listen to the still small voice and act on it. Build rafts with the boys and while you slowly float downstream on some river in Sweden drop a little seed now and then. By that Commander becomes a see-through person and the boys accept "holy talk" and consider it. Next item on the list is collecting blueberries for the pancakes for supper. One of the boys pipes up with: "Let us thank God for the most exiting times we had today. And for the blueberry pancakes. Isn't God good ?" A few miles down the river the "Mighty Man of God" is born. > Training "Mighty men of god" don't have all that much appeal to me. > > *Perhaps later, in time a look back might result in that conclusion, > But for the present.. *I want to a Royal Ranger because it's fun. > > I want to be a Royal Ranger because that is where I am accepted into > a group of friends that goes places and does good things. > > I'm only 10 to 13 and don't know a lot about what my future holds.. > but I'm willing to enjoy the adventure offered me by a active Ranger > outpost. *I see that the purpose.. that makes this adventure practical, > affordible and fun is related to camping in tents and cooking for > myself. > > Doing that.. allows me to go new places, be challanged by the outdoors > and associating myself with good people like Commander. > > Lot's of preachers talk and talk.. they lecture like teachers or > work at holyness..
