“LIFE IS ABOUT NETWORKING…” 

The common phrase (that is becoming cliche because of all the online dating and social networking websites) is so very true.

Over the past week, I have had some excellently informative conversations with many men who share my desire to deeply impact this generation of students for Christ. I have documented some of my struggels and thoughts concerning cell ministry for students… and the steps that need to be taken to get to that place… but I have neglected to credit some of the men who have cheated from their ministries in order to discuss this “beautifully complex quandry” that we are beginning to embrace as a student ministry at Allen.

The theologian Reinhold Neibuhr (of the “serenity prayer” fame…) once said…
“Nothing that is worth doing can be achieved in a lifetime; therefore we must be saved by hope. Nothing which is true or beautiful or good makes complete sense in any immediate context of history; therefore we must be saved by faith. Nothing we do, however virtuous, can be accomplished alone; therefore we are saved by love.”

Much in the same context that Neibuhr was illustrating our need for collective reasoning and shared experience… I have approached this transitional discovery and research phase by listening to the vision, successes, and failures of others.

This am/sm transition is far-from-over… and this network of men will most assuredly be bothered often, listened to, and relied upon much more as we pursue this Vision for reaching this generation on the Eastern Shore in the days ahead. Many thanks to these… and others who will undoubtedly be added to this list in the future…
