This week My whole team is back out at the Gateway an AIM base here in Mexico. We helped with a group of High School students from Alabma. Our role was to help answer any questions that they may have, take them to minstry sites and help them with prayer walking. How was this a lesson in leadership you may ask well let me tell you. I was kind of put in charge of leading a group to my internship at the youth detetion center. I enjoyed the first day and it went well, the second day was when the lesson began I had to figure out how to get 20 people leaders and students from the YDC back to the Gateway mind you we only had one van. not everbody would fit. I had a plan to take me and the leaders on the bus but when the translator heard he began to complicate my plan which i knew would work. He didn’t want to listen and hee tried just doubting my ability to work it out. I had it under control and yes my plan worked out. Early that week the same translator tried to get me to take a group to burger king instead of going back to the base when we were supposed to. He said oh if we get caught will just say it was your idea. Part of me was like yeah this sounds great but I am not going to jepordize myself for his hunger so i didn’t do it. I really had a great week other than this. The team was great and i got to just hang out and talk to the kids. The best part was at the YDC when one of the leaders gave his testimony it was perfect for them because he had been where they are. Well i can’t tihkn anymore so that is all for know.

Good to hear about your courage in leadership – it is rising up out of you my friend! Let it rise!
Chad, I am glad to hear that you were strong enough to stand up for what was right. I know that it’s not always easy. I am sure that this week with Johnson Ferry will be another great opportunity for God to develop leadership skills in you that you’ll be able to use this summer and in whatever the Lord leads you to after that. I’m praying for you guys. God bless!
