Fun Meetings/ Ownership

Meetings are very rarely fun to me. Yesterday, I had two that just floored me.

The first was with our 3 student interns. They are going to be leading the charge on what we've tentatively billed as "Kenya Night".

The night will be a follow up to last year's "Maasai Night" where we sought to raise awareness, prayer support, and funds for Caleb Bislow's ministry efforts to the Maasai in Kenya.
This year we will be seeking to once again come behind the Maasai Project, and also the AGC Abandoned Baby Center which our church has a significant partnership with.

The meeting was exciting as we worked out a timeline on all the different aspects of the night. The three students found themselves confused, overwhelmed, exciting, and totally bought in to the vision and goal to be a part of something bigger than themselves. They want to pull back together today as we seek to determine a team of 10-15 students they will be working with who will in turn be working with their own teams. Students leading students who are leading students. That's exciting.

Then in the evening, a Senior gal came over to our house. She is going to be the point person on all the prayer support that will be going on with the Maasai Project. The goal is to have individuals committed to pray and fast for the 40 days leading into the Project, as well as around the clock prayer and fasting going on during the project.
Once again, it was exciting to see her own this opportunity to be a part of something bigger than her.

Ownership... when students take it, crazy things start happening!
