Your club semester probably already started. Mine did. I thought I’d pass along some of our plans: Contact Work After staying rooted in Christ and prayer, the most important part of our work is contact work. My clubs are working through a shared Google Sheet so that every leaders has […]
Campaigners
In two previous posts, I wrote about why I love the Jesus Storybook Bible (JSB) and some technical observations about Bible translation and the JSB. In this post, I want to pass along some practical ideas about utilizing the JSB, particularly for Capernaum campaigners (but all campaigners can benefit from […]
I can’t quite find where it began, but somewhere in the history of YL the tradition of the “9:38” page or “9:38” list began. A 9:38 list is a list of names you create and you commit to pray for regularly to become “workers for the harvest field.” I found […]
Some of you know that I’ve put a few booklets together to help with campaigners and camp follow-up. Well, I have a new one called Wyld Questions. It is aimed at Wyldlife campaigners and I’ve been fortunate to have tried it out last summer in my area and also get […]
I recently had a WL leader contact me who said that the next day they were going to pull together a campaigners after just getting back from WL camp. They were in a pinch and needed some direction. This is what I wrote. I’d love to hear your thoughts too. […]
This weekend I had the privilege once again to be a part of the Western Division (now Southwest and Northwest Division) Student Staff Weekend, also known as the “49 Conference”, after Isaiah 49:1. I’d venture to say these are some of the best leaders in the entire mission (maybe I’m […]
A few weeks ago I shared how we are going through the Gospel of Luke, and hopefully Acts as well, this year in our club. I thought I’d pass along a club talk and campaigners lesson I did for our club a few weeks ago. As you may know, we […]
In our club we start campaigners before we start club. I thought I’d run down some great campaigner options… 1. 1st 30 Quiet Times by Ty Saltzgiver – This is tried and tested resource that continues to be a great option. It is a great resource to give a kid […]
I know many of you have utilized one of the booklets that I’ve written. Thank you! I hope they have been helpful. Cabin Time Continued was one of the top selling booklets in YL camp stores last year, and is in three times as many camp stores this summer! I […]
Over the years I’ve tried a few things to change the name of campaigners to something else: Wiffleball Wednesdays, Commandos (WL), and a few others. I’ve also heard of names like “Man Club”, “Super-Man Club”, “Breakfast Club”, “Brothers of Thunder”, and others. My friend Alex wrote up an article on […]
It may be too late, but I thought I’d pass along our Christmas campaigners time from tonight. We opened, as we always do with a game, then we sang some Christmas carols, did some announcements (including an update on Raju, the Developing Global Leaders student staff we are helping support), […]
For the past few years our club has split up guys and girls campaigners. This year some details changed and our leadership team decided to do campaigners co-ed. When I put together all of my ideas I simply had too many components that I wanted to include. So I came […]
