>>However somehow in the Ranger ministry/program, the mind-set of alot
parents
is that "THE CHURCH" will provide the leaders, the snacks, implement the
program, provide transportation etc. and often what happens is a small
handful of adults ends up running the program until they are totally burned
out. How many Outposts REQUIRE parental involvement? I have been involved
in 2 Outposts now where I hardly EVER see the parents. - any thoughts? <<
When will we get it thru our heads that WE are the church, not some
building, not the pastoral (or the janitorial) staff! So if we assume the
church will supply a need we MUST assume that it may be us that does it.
I have a philosophy: If I pray for something I'd better be willing to be the
means that God uses to answer that prayer. (James 2:15-16)
