Help for Young Life Leaders NOW

Here is the fourth installment of Sync through Mark…

We have done lots of different things for summer Work Crew training. I wanted to pass along what we did the other night in case you might want to check it out. Enjoy!

I’d also be interested to know what you do for summer Work Crew training. What do you do?

P.S. We have our banquet this Saturday. Shoot up a prayer if you don’t mind. Thanks!

Here are some sweet things worth checking out…

Matt Golley – A great artist who happens to be going on YL staff in Puerto Rico. I’m buying one right now for our dining room. I really like his use of pages from the book of Acts on this one.

YL Playbook – These guys are posting tons of games that you can use in club. Great “labels” on the side help narrow down what you are looking for.

YL Blog from SoCal – Some cool downloads, including a bookmark with mini quiet times on it for new believers. Very cool!

Leader Lounge – I’ve mentioned these guys (and gal… my wife hates being called “gal” sorry) before. I’ve started listening to their podcast, which is a great resource.

Chad Swanzy – Chad keeps on innovating. Check out the link to see how he is streaming his small group meetings. I am fascinated with the idea and the future of this. Also he has a ridiculously huge picture of himself on his page. He may have a cavity on a back tooth. (The one on his left).

Good times with bubble wrap. You can get a bunch at a local packaging store or an office supply store. We got some at Office Max.

Thanks to Andi and Karen for your helpful edits too!

Here is a game from my friends Keith, Shey and Rick… I like keeping these on “backup” for an unexpected low turnout.

Go to Walmart, Target or some place like that. Get teams of 5 or so and send them off to get 10 items in a shopping cart, then set a time and place to meet and exchange carts. The first team to return all of the items to their appropriate place wins.

Few rules I realized afterwards:
Teams must stay together
Give a time limit for getting the original 10 items
Threaten the walking thing so you don’t get kicked out. I threatened that the first team to get kicked out had to buy ice cream for everyone else.

Good times, goes quick.

Here is our club plan for Valentines Club! You can also check out this one.

Here are the first club talk and campaigner plans for Sync through Mark.
