Today I’m in OKC working with the Youth Ministry Leadership Team of WCC. It’s a pretty amazing group of folks in a very unique church. Peoples lives are being changed in OKC because of how God is and has been working within this group of people. I’m not a big numbers. I rarely quote them, but this is someone interesting. There are about 700 students involved in their outreach program called “the Mix”. The Mix meets 5 weeks on and then 3-6 weeks off. Oh and there isn’t a Youth Pastor, or dedicated youth staff person at all. On purpose.
Sure the church has it’s weaknesses (every church does if you haven’t noticed) but they are aggressively working on their short comings.
One day they will hire someone, but they will not have your typical job description huh.
Today I brought Zach with me. He’s out of school and we came down a bit early and have had a good time. He’s spending time exploring the church building and reading his latest book. It’s good to have him along. We’ll see how he handles me being in my 4 hour meeting tonight.
