A Variety of Ages...

My friend Ali Muller wrote this article for Immerse Journal on the importance of having older adults involved with your students.  I love her wisdom here.  This summer, we joined two local churches on a mission trip and one of the things that I found interesting as I looked across the landscape of the 25+ volunteers on the trip.  In my group, there was only one adult under 30 and she is on staff with me.  In the other two groups, there was only one adult over 30, and he was the youth pastor at one of the churches.  Very interesting.  What I realized was we all need some help in gaining a more broad scope of volunteers in our ministries.  A wide variety provides so much.
