What will CYIA look like this year?

This year, nine young people from Western Wisconsin will be training to reach kids with the Gospel. They'll be training with two team leaders, who have taught 5-day clubs for years and are now willing to share what they know with the younger teens. 

Here's a few things that these summer missionaries will learn this summer...

At the risk of being over-obvious...

They'll learn how to teach! And not just during the two-week training. One missionary said last year, “we were having difficulties teaching [at club] because of the large variety of ages and there were 36 kids. So we split the club, and it worked.” Another teen said she learned that God “can empower me to teach 25 kids just as well as 2.”

“I am excited to learn this year,” says another returning student from La Crosse, “and to review my lessons from last year.” She adds, “Watching those kids [last year] understand and accept the gift God has given was so cool.”

First letter, first support

Wow.

I am in utter aMAZEment!

I've only sent out my initial support letter. There will be at least two more sent out during the summer, but after only one support letter...

almost half of my support money is covered! Over $1,000!! Plus I know of several people who will be praying for God's will over the next few months. A lot more people than I expected.

And I completely didn't expect God to work in this way... never mind that fast!!

Shame on me for thinking that God's people wouldn't give to help me to this ministry! I have a lot to learn.

...will that be a theme this summer?
