It is mostly refreshing to have a mature group of Christians come and minister to our kids in the form of VBS. Missions tend to be smaller so the people power of other groups is a very helpful to do things that tend to burn us out!NLnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19223035.post-57080281021453856202014-09-04T08:12:21.306-07:002014-09-04T08:12:21.306-07:00Chad, thanks so much.

This is a great response, because there are viable, effective short-term ministry opportunities with agencies like CSM. Their focus on local church and supporting local ministries allows them to be a resource provider for the men and women who are giving the long-term love and care that is necessary for effective ministry. I would also add as point 12 that CSM is an effective teaching tool for high school and college aged students. Demonstrating many opportunities for them to be involved in effective ministry wherever God places them. They have an opportunity to learn how to do it right! Thank you CSM!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15750006482737394057noreply@blogger.com
