Joslyn and I have just finished the recruitment week in our youth leadership program called Top Gun. We visited schools, talked to parents and planned a weekend to invite them to the program.
We've been at it constantly since Monday.
Today we concluded the weekend, which included two overnighters for the youth who will spend seven years in the program. We're both hands-on in our involvement, so it is personally draining.
I'm relieved, tired and frustrated.
I'm frustated because four out of five of the 100 new youth from Elementary through high schools have not attended any church in their lives.
Neither have their parents.
If that is the mark of this generation, one that "knows not Joseph or the God of Joseph" then it may explain many things.
It also explains why we can go so frustrated that we stop doing what we do.
