I got an email yesterday from a man I know. He went to The Crucible Weekend years & years ago & was transformed. He still meets regularly with a couple of the guys from his weekend. Kids, job changes, a house, etc. have taken up much of his time.
A few months ago he asked me about staffing: how did I do it, did I think it had been too long since his weekend for him to do it, things like that. He found a weekend that worked with his family schedule, applied to staff, and is excited.
I'm excited for him: for the growth, the unexpected challenges, for the adventure of staffing for the first time. Scratch that: staffing is an adventure *every* time. I'm also excited about what it will mean for our group, our church, our community.
If you haven't experienced The Crucible Weekend, I recommend it. If you can't understand why a man would give up a whole weekend to go serve other men, many of whom he doesn't know, without getting paid, then why not pray about it?
What might God have in store for you?
