Tonight's Anything Goes Game Night
Tonight, we will be holding our annual spring outreach event at WyBC. Please pray for teens that are inviting teens, for teens to accept the invitation to come and to respond and for the speaker, Daryn Duff. I will be working with Kyle to run the games.

y'all ben dun prayed fer at 1450 EST.
I can't wait to hear all about it. Especially Kyle's games!
We had 29 of us including leaders. 22 teens = our biggest anything goes game night!! yes!!
Kyle did a great job of redaing up on all of the games. We huddled and called the next play between games. He even picked up on the active, running games mixed with a calmer game in the middle. All by himself! Great suggestion Kyle! And he set games up as they were needed. He coached the teams on at least two games and made a mid course modification on one (to pick up the pace a bit). The only draw back was that he didn't have a whistle or a booming voice to gain attention. (I had both of these so I took over in this dept.)
I would claim the training of a game leader as a success. I have not worked myself out of it totally yet, but we are making progress. A fair start for a guy who does not like to delegate the fun stuff away! :)
But the biggest highlight is that there were 4 decisions made at the event! 1 for salvation, 2 for assurance, 1 for dedication. One leader even counseled for his first time! YEs! Yes! YeS! Thx for praying THad (and others)!
