Personal Retreat

Hey Leaders,


I was thinking about what to do this sunday for lesson time. Cause we have finished the current book of John.  One option is games (its a logical choice cause all the other levels have outings and games) Another option is to allow some groups to finish the lessons they are lagging behind in.

As i was thinking. I asked myself what is the one thing we should be focusing on, in this ministry. I came to the conclusion that it is about us as a community experiencing God together. How we are always praying and sharing the joy that God has placed in our hearts to our kids. Not cause we are leaders, but rather cause we are also children of God and we want our kids to experience that same joy that we feel as well.

This week God has shown me, break through after break through of how he will release people from the underlying hurts, chains of sin and walls of pride. As such that they can come to enjoy him. I think many of our youths are still admiring God and do not know that they can both admire and enjoy him. I dont know how many of them enjoy their time with the Lord.

Sooo it is my hope and prayer that we should always be pressing towards that goal. That one day, our kids will experience way more (abundantly more) than what we enjoy today. Oh ofcourse that we dont be contented with what we have and greedily ask God for more intimacy with him.


This is the flow im thinking of.

1) worship (10 mins) (3 songs)

2) personal time with the lord. They can go where ever they want in acjc. Material will be given ( 30 mins)

3) Sharing and praying for one another.  The youths will be paired together (15 mins) (no leaders)

4) praying for individuals, leaders will pray for the youths (10 mins)

5) Close in worship (2 songs)

6) Pizza at the canteen, more sharing about the materials and the youths' lives with the leaders.

Sounds good?
