Mike Yaconelli and church

Aside from the change in political leadership that has just happened, I heard that a really great youth worker, Mike Yaconelli passed away in a truck accident. For a Christianity Today article on this man, read it here: Mike Yaconelli Dies In Truck Accident It seems this he (whom I've not heard of until now) has made a really awesome impact in the lives of youth, even at the age of 61! Here's a quote from the CT article about Mike Yaconelli which I found very interesting: "He would regularly talk about his desire that a church staff meeting would be about talking about Jesus rather than about programs and calendars and carpeting." Can we say the same for our CF committee meetings and youth leaders' meetings? Where we talk more about God than we do about our administration? He's not saying that we don't talk administration, but let our focus be on God, the One who coordinates it all. May God continue to bless the ministry Mr. Yaconelli has started and that the lives of many youth will continue to be changed for the glory of God Here's something else I learnt today - never try to attack a rugby player who's twice your size. Why I say this? Read it up here on CNN: Pitch Invasion Worries Organisers. Read carefully and study the picture that comes with the article and always remember to pick only on somebody your own size!
