we had youth leaders training this morning. not heaps of us. just phil, libby, ez, lyndal, nath and stu. was good time though. we were working through being disciples and being a disciplemaker. i think the next two terms are going to be heavily focussed on involvement from the young people, so that they're active and growing in their faith. and that's pretty exciting, coz there's heaps of potential. i hope that they will take hold of it and make choices for Jesus. so it was good to get some more focus for ourselves, and motivation for us to be imitators of God, so we're worthy of being imitated. that's a huge thing for Paul to say in his letters "imitate me as i imitate God" - i don't know how comfortable i'd be in saying that a lot of the time. but i want to be more comfortable with it, so that my life has more integrity and honours Jesus more wholly.
