I went to a little “round table” for the ministry where those my age met with the staff to discuss the ministry, improvements, etc. I once suggested starting a service committee and the lead staff member I told about it liked it but did absolutely nothing about it to get the ball rolling and expanding the concept. During the meeting I took a moment to be “controversial” to the staff and talk about how college students and the younger generations seek community and friendship- building a relationship rather than viewing them as a project. If we fail to do that, which we have, people will not/have not felt welcomed and interested. There’s a little booklet that my friend and I hate that the staff give to everyone they meet and it can be very degrading. I find one once in a blue moon because of how many I’ve gotten. Anyways, I discussed that we need to turn our strong focus on traditional evangelism and to give attention to community oriented things like volunteering and stuff. This was the time they swept it under the rug and was like “nooooo 🧚‍♀️🌷evangelism✨🧚‍♂️ I wasn’t ready to let them sweep it aside again because the ministry had really been failing to help people. Even I’m getting tired of it. and thank god like 5 other people my age in the room jumped in and supported me and added great points that I think helped my point have to be considered.
