I was blessed and lucky enough to get to go with my family up to Seattle for Thanksgiving, and it was a good time for me to relax and take a break from work. It was great to see my immediate and extended families and not answer any emails!!
Three weeks ago Sprague Young Life went to the Salem All City Club, I played guitar for the event (which was a ton of fun) and we brought 14 kids from Sprague! Young Life has been gaining the momentum that we've been praying for (We have eight leaders, not including myself!!) and have gotten to the point where we need to do a weekly event in order to satisfy demand. This has been a fun time of exploring what Young Life can and should look like at Sprague High School. It has been a period of re-imagining what a Young Life "club" should be and how we can best accomplish it. My leaders have been wonderful at joining into this conversation and helping me discern what God wants us to do.
This past Monday we had a Bingo Night (Complete with live streaming video of the balls coming out of the cage projected onto a large screen, full "Bingo Lingo" used in the calling, 30 second dance parties between games, a full "true-to Young Life" program (Edgar McDaubs and GTI) and prizes! It was a fun night! and we had about 15 kids, which I was totally happy with! This Monday we are inviting all the Young Life guys and gals over for a Christmas Party at my Apartment! I'm pretty excited for that time as it will be really relaxed and relational! Hopefully we can manage another 15 kids or more!
All and all things have been happening and God has been moving a bunch! It's been quite the roller coaster and I'm excited to see what's around the next turn!!
