Have you ever wondered how it’s possible that students…kids, really…provide so many vehicles to missionaries all over the world? Not to brag, but I’ve heard that our missionaries are the most well-equipped out there. Why is that? What makes the difference? How are students inspired to give so sacrificially? Aren’t today’s teens supposed to be self-focused? Isn't this an awful lot of questions to ask all in a row?
Well, today begins our annual District Youth Directors Conference. It is our District Youth Directors (DYDs) who have shouldered the responsibility of leading, training, and inspiring kids to give. It is a high calling to raise up tomorrow’s leaders, tomorrow’s pastors, tomorrow’s missionaries. For most students, the first time they are really exposed to missions is through giving…first to BGMC as little kids and then to Speed the Light as teenagers.
And let me tell you…these DYDs are some of the best (and most fun) leaders you’ll ever meet.
