Teaching again!

It seems like a loong time since I've taught 5-day club.

It has actually been a couple years, I suppose.

But a couple weeks ago, I got to teach with a couple of missionaries who needed a third team member.

Teen Mentorship

A study by the Barna Group indicated that 6% of teens listed “pastors or other religious leaders they know personally” as their top role models, while 6% listed “entertainers (including musicians and actors)” - an interesting similarity in statistics.
But even with parents excluded from the role model survey (they had been the top response at first), a "close relation" to the teen came out at the top (37%).

Unfortunately, as the president of the Barna Group pointed out, "teens rarely identified spiritual mentors" in the survey.
 

Good News Clubhouse

Hey peeps!

This July at the La Crosse Interstate Fair, CEF will have the Good News Clubhouse up and running. The Good News Clubhouse is a trailer that's painted in all kinds of fun colors, with the inside painted like night and day. Kids can come through and hear the Wordless Book (the Gospel), and get their faces painted.
The trained teen teachers (ttt... I love saying that) will be sharing the Wordless Book. We can have other teens, like our friends, paint faces and we need an adult present whenever we're working. The adult volunteer will often talk to the parents outside the trailer, or talk to adults and kids as they walk by.

It's a lot of work - about ten hours a day for four days in a sweaty trailer- but it's worth it! Last year we reached over 800 kids just through the fair trailer ministry!
