Why are you involved in Royal Rangers? I think that sometimes, to combat discouragement, it helps to review why we do what we do. I first got involved in Royal Rangers when my sons were old enough to join what was then called Straight Arrows. It was a good thing to do at church with my sons. I also saw it as a way to give them some of the benefits I got as a boy in Boy Scouts (which is what met at the church I grew up in). I soon realized that it was a marvelous opportunity to win boys for Jesus Christ and help them grow in the Lord, not just in the mission statement goals of the organization, but in reality. Praise God! What beats having a boy pray with you to receive Jesus Christ?
Jesus loves children. Children's ministry is not second-rate ministry. It is our first and best ministry, and statistically the most effective. It is also fun-- especially for those of us who have a bit of child left in us. :-) Michael http://kahunapule.org <- look for fresh Colorado mountain pictures here, as well as Papua New Guinea pictures. _______________________________________________ The Golden Rule is my daily rule.
