Hey there!! So if you're wondering what I do at my new "job" at Kids Inc. I'll tell you... or show you rather..
I mostly just hang out with kids! It's awesome! Tuesdays I go to Manual
High school and hang out with kids during their lunches... talk to the
social workers that know the kids... stop in on classes that i know
kids in talk to them... Pray for me! I'd REALLY like to be able to
start a Bible study. There's only a couple of months left in the school
year, so it might have to wait until the next school year. oh well.
We'll have.
Later Tuesday night have "Boys Night" which is time for guys only
to hang out and play basketball, skateboard... whatever they want. They
do whatever they want in that time. Sometime in the middle of that time
I give them a little snack and make them listen to me talk to them for
a half hour or so. Right now I'm doing a series on the lives of King
Saul and King David and what it means to be a man. David was a man man
after God's heart.... Saul wasn't.
I visit a Jr. High on Wed. and hang out with a couple of other kids that I know during their lunches as well.
I lead worship for our Wed. evening Bible study which is
held up in Horizon Hall. that's awesome! That's one of my favorite
places to lead worship!
Thursdays I spend the entire day studying the book of
Hebrews to teach a class at Calvary Chapel Bible College of
Indianapolis(the school i graduated from). I have to say that teaching
this class has been one of the biggest challenges that I have. I love
it though!! A little something that I've learned so far though; no
matter who teaches the book of Hebrews, there will always be a student
that thinks the teacher is a heritic!!!
Fridays I like to try to go back to Manual High school and hang out some more...
THEN..... (one of my favorite times in the week) we have Hang
Time!!! Hang Time is the main event in the week were we have kids come
in and hang out in the building! we can have anywhere between 35-100
kids! This is the event that i started volunteering at to get involved.
We, well... just hang out. a lot kids are there just to play
basketball, some play pool, a lot of them come to skateboard. Those are
the kids that I mostly hang out with! I love those kids!!! they're so
much fun!! Some time in the evening we make them all sit down and we
talk to them about the Lord. THIS IS THE AREA TO PRAY!!! We've been
teaching through the book of Matthew for a while now. I have to say
that I KNOW that the kids are listening! I've had so many conversations
with kids saying that they've never known a thing about the BIble until
they came here. what an awesome thing! We give the gospel every week as
well. a bunch of kids of responded to it as well.. but to be honest....
very few with follow through though. please pray for this. One of our
biggest prayers is for 3-5 guys to truly follow Christ with their whole
hearts! we've seen this with some of the girls, but almost no men!
please pray!
ok, so there's more that i actually do in my week. but I just
wanted to give a quik overview... HA! i jsut said Quik overview!
Everyone knows that no Medlong explains anything quikly!!
now for the moment that everyone's waiting for!!! Pictures of high flying skateboard action!!!
have fun!

You should take an advanced first-aid/CPR course.
Just a thought.
