We're almost @ the end of the '08-'09 school yr. w/ MBSF and we always like to go out w/ a bang each yr. Therefore, Patrick has coordinated several outreach opportunities even towards the end of this semester to hopefully reach even a few more students b/f they leave for the summer. We have some VERY involved, faithful students in the ministry this yr. that were reached out to @ this point of the sem. last yr. They went home for the summer and jumped in full force once they returned this past Fall for school. So...it's been pretty successful in the past & hopefully will be again!
Many of the outreach opportunities (lemonade stands/booth set up in the student union/etc.) fall during the day while I'm home watching the toddlers. And as much as I know our students would just LOVE for me to bring the toddlers up to campus in a stroller or such each time (he, he)...I don't usu. make the big trek on my own.
Last wk. one night, the students signed up for 30 min. time slots (most signed up for multiple slots of course) of outreach @ the Intramural fields on campus. Kennedy and I headed to go help and see Daddy after we finished dinner that night. And thankfully, there were 17 different students who signed up and volunteered a little bit of their time that night to help pass out water bottles and MBSF info. cards @ the fields. Praise the Lord! We have been blessed w/ such an awesome group of students involved in MBSF this yr. and couldn't be more appreciative of their willingness and boldness!
Oh, and let me just say...NO ONE passed up our MBSF card/handout when Kennedy was the one who handed it to them. All of the students as well as Patrick and myself enjoyed watching K really start getting the hang of what we were trying to do. Can't you just imagine a sweet lil' blue-eyed, blong-haired, innocent girl holding a card out to you saying "Take the card please"? It was precious and we'll certainly use her "help" again in the future I'm sure! : )
