Planning
This week has been all about planning for the youth staff of Maadi Community Church! We have had 2 hour planning meetings every day and it has been quite exhausting but also exhilirating! It is so exciting to think and dream about all that we long to see God do here in this place! And His dreams are so much bigger! It is amazing to think about! With where our numbers are right now and with the growth that is already occuring as a result of our cell groups, we are asking God to expand our ministry to where we will be reaching over 450 students in the next 2 1/2 years! This is growth and progress that only God by the Power of His Spirit can produce and we are asking Him to bring it! Our vision statement has also been recrafted to read: We are about leading students through the process of encountering Christ, to engaging Christ, to embodying Christ so that they will be equipped, empowered, and excited to lead others through the same process. We want to take students from where they are and call them to go deeper, to go further, to go closer to God and towards the destiny that He has in mind for their lives: to shaped into the image of Christ! And so we will move to an empowerment mindset where we pour into our student leaders who will in turn pour into their friends and on and on and on as we reach to the fringes! It is about discipleship here! It is about raising up students who will duplicate themselves and it is exciting! Praise God!
