Grace College Youth Ministry Students

A week ago Wednesday, TK brought up about 25 of his students from Grace College to observe Oasis. I had a chance to hang with them afterwards for about 45 minutes and cast vision for what GCC and Oasis is all about. They were pretty sharp. This is the third year they've been up. They go and observe a youth minstry and then process the experience together. I totally love that.

Turns out that Grace College kind of sub-contracts out to The National Institute (aka CE National) for their youth ministry program (I'm sure that's not the correct terminology, but is how the business world would describe it). I think they've got a good thing going on. It's one thing to learn from a book, it's another thing to experience it from a number of different perspectives up close and personal. Both are important.

I was impressed with TK that he followed the visit up with a thank you note and a free t-shirt. Everyone can use a thank you note and a free t-shirt, it's like pie and chips.
