Youth Alive

A Youth Tool on Display at 2010 Minister’s Summit:

You’ve heard it said, “you can’t judge a book by its cover.”  It doesn’t end there.   I’ve discovered as well that you can’t judge a golf club by a golf score and you can’t judge a tool by the end product it produces.   Listen, just because you got a golf club on sale that originally goes for $300 doesn’t mean your score is going to improve that much.   Really?   You think such an inanimate object is going to have that kind of affect? Sure it can give some assistance to progress, but not enough to get you from a 120 to below 80 on the course.

Let’s face it, we are infatuated with tools, resources and any new gadget.  We see them and just imagine what we could do with them.   I’m right there.  My favorite stores are Best Buy, Ace and Radio Shack.  Why, because I like tools, gismos and gadgets.    But just as a golf club doesn’t guarantee a better score, a tool cannot guarantee a better product.   It will assist, but it will not produce.   The production is still up to the one utilizing the apparatus.   Before Craftsman was a tool, it was a person and Skil was what he had, not what he used.

The Seven Project is a tool that was brought to our District Youth Ministries in 2004.   As any tool it carries great potential.   It is a piece of equipment designed to help build a bridge from the local church to the public school.   This tool will be on display at this year’s Minister’s Summit taking place May 5th in Camp Hill High School.  Pastors and Leaders are invited to be a part of this school assembly and @Night outreach.   Space is limited for the daytime assembly.   If you are interested in attending the school assembly during the afternoon of May 5^th or would like more information, please contact Jason@7project.org or call 717-645-5467.   The evening event is open to all.   It’s just a tool, but like any tool in the right hands, it carries great potential for building student’s hope and God’s Kingdom.
