Our Ministry Team

This morning we had a ministry team meeting for our Jr. High English Camp. It was really great! Five of the six students who went to Oregon with us last summer are helping out with the Jr. High camp at the end of June.

This morning we sat around and talked about what needs the students will have and how best we can meet those needs. We talked about their possible needs for:
  • feeling accepted and loved
  • having a safe atmosphere with clear boundaries
  • lots of fun!
  • being equal with their peers
  • being included, a part of the whole
  • and many more!
The students who are helping (Zan, Matic, Anja, Nika & Tjasa) were all a part of the first English Camp we did in Kranj three years ago. We asked them what things they experienced at that camp that made them want to keep returning and how can we do the same for these students this summer and how can THEY help these younger students experience those same sorts of things.

It was a really encouraging time together! They all went home with assignments for the next couple meetings we'll have before camp actually arrives. They all have great ideas and are thinking through the "why's" of doing things, so we're excited to steer them and partner with them in reaching this next group of younger students.
