Pushing others to succeed...

The one thing that still continues to rock my world is just how many high school volunteers we have helping out. I know this kind of sounds repetitive, but this is why. I was thinking about this crazy adventurous life that is and should be Christianity. And I was trying to connect it with what I am seeing happening at Stretch. A huge part of being a Christian needs to be PUSHING others to be the very best that they can for God, and spending time praying for their ministry.

Sometimes the best thing you can do for a ministry is vision cast and push those students in leadership to really take ownership of what is going on. All of the interns have been taking some students under their wings and have also been preaching about standing up and taking your cross.

Soon enough these leaders will be ready to stand up and to push others to be the best they can.

I'll tell you what, we had a nearly flawless night at Stretch, and it was because a whole butt load of people were working together. This group of students is going to start a revolution, and it will all start with a bunch of them pushing each other to be the very best that they can.
