Bless you for coming down off your high horse. Serving in a inner city outreach

church gives me a whole new outlook on the phrase (aint got). I am in the position

of having boys, (boys who desperatly need mentors, teachers, and even fathers,

to guide them), because they go home and there is no one there to help them.

Sometimes its because mom has to work, because dad isnt in their lives, or

dad is in prison, or worse dad is home but too full of drugs and himself to care.

So these boys come to church for guidance, and help to try to make sense 

out of their lives. Like little sponges wanting to soak up as much God and 

love as they can before going back home to help mom, or sometimes to 

just survive. These boys are sometimes rough and unruly, and act like  

they dont care, but they keep coming back.  

       Now this is the kicker, and alot of you can relate to this big time. I dont

have enough leaders (men or women with the burden to help lead these boys 

to Christ Jesus). I would gladly take your (least) of burdened leaders, because 

where I stand, that leader would be most. There are too many times when I am 

Buckaroo, Pioneer, and Trailblazer Commander all at the same time. At least 

ten boys in each group. It is at times overwhelming and I have asked Jesus, how do I reach all these boys? Send me someone to help me Lord! I cant do this

by myself. At this time I couldnt go to NTC if I wanted too! I spent all my  

vacation time on outings with my Rangers. If I were you Bro next time you see your leaders, go up to them and give them each a big hug. And while your

at it give them a hug for me, because the enemy is many, and we are few. We 

will persevere, we will do our Lord Gods bidding to the end.

All,
At the Friday night council fire, the Lord really spoke to me through his
Spirit. He told me something that I've been doing and really never thought
about it before.  I'm posting this because I'm sure that there are others
that
might be doing the same thing or have done the same thing and the have
not asked for forgivenss.
I'll be the frist to say I need to ask for forgivenss and I'm planning on
doing that
Wednesday night.
The Lord spoke to me and basicly said, that I think I'm better then the
other leaders. What he means (I think) is, that since I'm in FCF have the
medals, ect. I look down on the others I work with. Which is ture. I've
done it.
You see, Royal Rangers isn't about FCF and medals. It's about winning boys
for the Lord.  The  leaders I work have a burden for boys, but I never look
at that.  I always find there faults. When I do that Satan gets in the door
a causes me to see what he wants me to see. Only with Gods help can we over
come the things of Satan.
If this makes anyone mad, I'm sorry. Just remember though, if you send me
flames you're not flaming me but God.

Later,
