networking

A huge help in my ministry has been contacting and just talking shop with other kids and student ministry people who are ahead of where we are.

Lately I have been super busy and have let the tyranny of the urgent get in the way. Not anymore though.

I have been on the phone 3 times in the past 2 weeks for a total of probably forty minutes, with student and family pastors from all over. Let me just say this is so vital to keeping focussed on not accepting 2nd best and pushing yourself to find solutions to your current problems and ways to avoid issues in the future.

The next step is to travel to a few cool churches, basically our two big brothers and sit down and really get a look at their kids programs and I am jacked to get a look and be inspired.

If you arent constantly evaluating your ministry and seeking information and wisdom on ministry then you will find yourself in ruts before you know it....trust me, it stinks but it happens all the time.

So keep the emails, phone calls and visits going if you want to keep kids happy, informed and moving towards a better relationship with God.
