PDYM - Friday

The morning consisted of a good session on volunteers, an area we're decent at but have plenty of room for growth in our ministry. Actually I'd give us a B- for our recruiting process, an A- for volunteer meetings and training, and a B- for individual care for volunteers.

Then we finished up with one last time of worship and communion. This time was cool for me. I hadn't mentioned it much yet, but God really refreshed my soul this week. I went into the week physically, emotionally, and spiritually drained. It was cool to come out of it with a fresh taste of God's grace and goodness.

Not only was I personally refreshed, but I feel like I've been recharged for ministry. I'm excited about this upcoming year. I'm excited about taking a handful of students to the PDYM student leadership conference in July. I'm excited about going to Mexico next week and building a house. I'm excited about launching small groups. I'm excited about retooling our Sunday morning program. I'm excited about the students who are going to find Christ through our ministry in the next few months. It's a good time.
