Summer Mode
I am in summer mode, full force! Although it is a busier time for me, I have been enjoying growing in my role this summer. One of my main responsibilities is to care for our staff team. As I mentioned in my last letter, our summer staff work intense hours, sleep on floors (when they actually get to sleep) and pour into the almost 300 youth who come to the Summer Missions Program. Our heart at The Boston Project is not only to see how God impacts the youth who come, but also to see God work in the lives of the young adults that serve with us.
And God has shown up! Staff have tried new things and through stretching experiences discovered new areas of gifting. One staff always thought since he was quiet and introverted that up-front leading wasn't for him. Through opportunities he has had to teach morning devotions and lead nightly activities for the Summer Missions Program, he is realizing he may have the gift of teaching. AMEN!
I meet with staff individually every other week to hear how they are doing and how we can be praying for them. I love listening in excitement as they share ways God is working in and through them. He has been bringing healing in staff lives' in ways they didn't expect! God has confirmed passions and life callings. Basically, God is moving- and I am blessed to be a part of it.
