SUMMER COACHING CLASS

One of my great joys is encouring women in their ministries. I often use the Mary Poppins' principle: A SPOONFUL of SUGAR helps the medicine go down. We have used many different themes - but this week we held a coaching class (under the sponsorship of LIFT - Leaders in Fellowship Together - be sure to visit the website LIFTAZ.com) with the theme GET IN THE GAME. Team names, and team building techniques, PRACTICE, PRACTICE, PRACTICE, was in a fun baseball game setting. We had peanuts and popcorn and crackerjacks. Practice included mentoring others and multiplying our resources. The special challenge was THE ROAD TRIP from Luke 10, where Jesus sent out the 70 'rookies' while the home team watched.
We understood at the end of the day why Jesus said in Luke 10:23:
"How privileged you are to have seen what you have seen."
We thank God for the privilege of serving Him - and being confident of the win!
