Dare2Share

01/19/04 | by [mail] | Categories: faith/skepticism

Friday and Saturday I was at Dare2Share with 8 students and 3 other adults. On Saturday afternoon the groups at the conference went all over the city collecting canned goods for City Union Mission. We went door-to-door in an Overland Park neighborhood asking for cans and then asking if we could share our faith. I was really nervous about this and a little unsure if it was even a good idea (does it just turn people off? does it really do any good?) But the approach they told us to use was really nonconfrontational and friendly. When people weren't interested, we just moved on. When people were interested, we were very brief and simple. Doing something that made us uncomfortable was a good growing experience. I'm proud of the kids; they were really brave and kind.

I was there too with my son. We won tickets from JoyFM…it was so awesome to be around teens that were so pumped up - and pumped up about GOD no less. We missed the sessions on Saturday morning where the teens filled in their books. (Could you email me the words to fill the book in please?) Im glad you all had a good time. Wasn’t Chris Tomlin and Rachel Washington’s performances great?? The mashing scared me, but at least all those kids were clean and sober!!
