]]> Comment on Hype! How to Get Lots of Kids to Club by Jason http://ylhelp.com/2008/09/29/hype-how-to-get-lots-of-kids-to-club/#comment-263 Jason Sun, 21 Dec 2008 18:19:15 +0000 http://ylhelp.com/2008/09/29/hype-how-to-get-lots-of-kids-to-club/#comment-263 We hopped on board the "campaigners-centered model" detailed in Bob Perkins book titled "No Banana Splits!" (www.nobananasplits.com) Perkins was an AD in Pennsylvania awhile back and the premise of his book is that we are a relational ministry, and our main responsibilities are to love kids, and proclaim the Gospel clearly. In short, we are called to a no-gimmicks ministry, and when we try and use gimmicks to get kids to club, in the long run it will hurt our ministry. As our team took off with the campaigners model, we saw our students catch the excitement and fullness of sharing the aroma of Christ with their friends at school. Not only that, but campaigners really took off with making sure everyone at club was having fun by singing loud, including everyone, laughing their faces off, etc. so even if club is lame (which when you think about it, club is pretty lame) it's actually the most hilarious and fun time of that kids week. When that happens, word spreads at the school of how fun Younglife is, and in turn, kids that vowed to never show their face at Younglife just might ask you where and when it is next week. We saw our club nearly double and camp spots fill up, and the best part was it had nothing to do with something we physically did, but with relationships we cultivated.

If we start the week before, it's tough to have to take a week off the very next week. So, for momentum, we're waiting until Jan 19th.
