| We celebrated the Olympics with Olympic nuggets from McDonalds on our day off! |
This week one of our main
objectives was to interview our newly trained youth leaders, which is the final
step in their application process! This means that they can now start
participating in a more active way with the junior high school youth group by
leading games and small groups, giving their testimonies and even start giving
some of the talks. It’s been a really exciting week for both us as a team and
the volunteers. For us it’s exciting to be able to really start handing over
the reins to the volunteers who will be leading this program even after we
leave. It’s also been a big week for the volunteers. We could see the
excitement and how seriously they’re all taking this commitment as they came in
one by one for their interviews.
Saturday night was the first
youth night for most of them as volunteers since being interviewed and while,
as a group, they were still learning the same roles they’ve been learning for
the last few weeks (greeting, helping with snack, set-up, and take-down), we
could see that they were taking the jobs all the more seriously knowing that
they were officially volunteers. They joined us for our nightly pro/cons
session at the end of the night after the youth had left and they showed us
that they were very invested in the night and knew what was going on throughout
the night. It’s been incredible to be able to watch them grow as leaders!
God bless,
