Dodgeball for the Sake of the Call

Last night was just what I needed. The new edition to our Student Ministries missions focused drive (a.k.a. Rwanda Night) was a dodgeball tournament. Monday Night was the Senior High.
The setup was simple...

• Teams of 7-11.
• Each individual has a $3 entrance fee.
• Guys and gals tournament.

The added twist was that each person on a team could buy back in to the game for $1 during each game.

The night was a huge win on several levels.

• It was fun. People laughed and played.
• It was outreach. There were several individuals who don't come to NMC who particpated.
• It raised financial support for the Rwanda Exodus... all said and done, close to $500.
• It was student initiated and led. Students came up with the idea. Kathleen (senior), Cody (Junior), and Dylan (8th Grade) put the plan together and executed it. Austin (senior) set up the sound system and got the room ready. The only adult roles were Geoff and Jeff as our refs.

The Middle School is playing tonight. I'm so stinkin' proud of our students for stepping out and getting involved in something bigger than themselves.
