I've been thinking for some time now about youth work particularly in a church context and I think that there is the potential for an organisation to get involved in youthwork for the wrong reasons.
Before I get shot down/sacked etc let me quantify that statement, and infact I am sure that many institutions get involved with the best intentions but inadvertantly miss the target. Youth work in any context should be there not to service the needs of the organisation, but to serve the young people in the cultural context of their community and to enable them to reach for God and to know more about him themselves.
Good to see Steve P from uni this afternoon who brought round a piece of furniture for our lounge (yes I have finally been doing some DIY!!!) And for those of you who know the story, we still without a car. So frustrating!!!
Blessings to all.
PS For those of you who have not mentioned cricket in my presence since the Ashes series my sincerest thanks, I continue in mourning!!!
