Sorry, do expect horrid puns and things in my writing, it kind of reflects my personality!
I'm at The Youthwork Conference this weekend, but LE is never far from my thoughts. I've brought some work with me - working on the text for the publicity - grappling with the issue of what would make people want to come to LE?
I sent out a mass Facebook request for inspiration, and I've gleaned some great ideas BUT I'm still very conscious that there aren't really enough words - you have to EXPERIENCE it.
I've been listening to a series of sermons from Mars Hill Bible Church on the topic of Kingdom, and pretty much the same principle applies... you can tell people, but until they get involved and experience it for themselves it doesn't quite have the same impact.
I want people to experience God, I want people to experience living in community, I want people to experience encouragement for their giftings...
I believe they can do this - not exclusively of course, but in large part - at Leading Edge.
So, between now and booking opening, I'm going to share my experiences of Leading Edge with as many people as possible. It may not be quite the same, but I can at least share and encourage. This afternoon, I'm going to stand up and talk to a load of Baptist youth workers at a reception... I wonder how many have never even heard of LE?
If everyboy who reads this shares with a couple of extra people, and they decide to come, think what an impact it could have - on them as individuals, on families, on community, on the town of Warwick and on the Kingdom.
So, I'm asking you all a favour... please, share YOUR experience in the hope of encouraging others.
Hugs and Blessings
