Shout it out for our teens

I have been challenged recently by another youthwork blog that I regularly look in upon, that has prevoked the thought as to whether we shout out for our teens enough in this country. Certainly there is an issue with drugs, knives, violence, and various other things, but youth doesn't mean yob, and there are stacks of reasons why our young people are worth shouting out about. Can I suggest you go and look at www.youthblog.org and look at the posting for July the 20th, ths made me sit up and almost cheer for our young people.

Info and apologies

Hi All, Just to say sorry that there have been no posts on this blog for the last week, I have been away in America, which I shall explain in a minute, but Please forgive me for not pointing this out earlier. As I have stated, I have been out in the states, Visiting the florida revival meetings. These have been an amzing time, for me, and a lot of thanks goes to one of our supporters who paid for me to go on the trip. Spent some amazing time with God, won't say all about it here, as I have created a nother blog about tthe trip, so do visit: www.floridajournal.blogspot.com and read about the trip. Also just to inform you about another website I have come across, www.livelight.org looks like there is lots there for people to investigate.S

It is free, and you can also choose the different newsleters you receive depending on your expertese and vision for work. there is lots there to choose from, and their articles are very much up to date and infromative. visit: www.cypnow.co.uk

New website to take notice off

It also has an internaitonal perspective, as well as having alsorts of session material, provoking articles, and much much more, and hey guess what, it is free as well. Can't be bad, check it out: www.youthworkinternaitonal.com

Signs of growth!!!!!!

Somewhere else, on another blog that I contribute too, was asking this question recently abot how youthwokrers grow. We all want our young people to grow, and have ideas about how that should happen, but do we or does anyone else actually think and take care about how the youthworker grows. If we had to ask the queston, of any youthworkers, How have you grown in this last year? I wonder what the answer would be and how long they woul have to think about it. god wants us all to grow, continually grow, and become more and more like him, and more and more like the people he wants us to be. So the challenge for us as youthwokrers, is to maybe ensure that things are in place, for us to go through those tough times, and ensure that we are growing and becoming better people, better youth workers, and better in our relaitonship with God.
