I believe it. As much as you put in front of middle and high schoolers, they'll get it done.<BR/><BR/>At a camp I worked at the leadership needed to remove two large volleyball poles from the ground. They were deep in there and were weighted by concrete. So, what did we do? During activity time we made a boys vs. girls contest to see who could remove their pole the fastest. And within two hours, with mostly their bare hands, the 13 total campers got it done.<BR/><BR/>Granted, that's not intellectual, but they did something that was definitely not an easy task. And they did it well.<BR/><BR/>You make a good point when you say that maybe they'll find drinking a positive social experience. There's got to be a lot more to ministry than the list of do's and don'ts. <BR/><BR/>I think you're on a good path. <BR/><BR/>Tell Paisly I say, "hi."Danhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08723390116868166355noreply@blogger.com
