youth work

More experience
Less enthusiasm
That is the balance this year.

New school year has started and we need to plan what to do with the youth work (activities for young people) in our church this year.
When I joined the church, the youth activities I had an oportunity to participate were great way how to grow in faith and how to learn many things. Now - after almost 5 years I can't just sit and see that nothing happends. Everybody just say - oh it would be good if something would be done. But nobody has time or will to do something.
Luckily, there is a girl that has agreed to take the leadership and I am ready to help her. So tomorrow we will have a meeting also with other people that could do something.
We have tried to do something like that also last year. Results: there was a team meeting. But when we came to real action - for most of the persons there were more important things to do. Ok, I know that people are busy but it is so sad to be taken away with some idea and to see almost no support from others :(
Last year was hard. I think the quality of this work was below the one I dreamed about and it really took a lot of efforts and steeled some hours of sleep. But it wasn't fruitless. I know there are many gains we can't imagine but there were also we could see - there are at least one girl who has strengthened her believe and I think that youth work helped.
So for this year.. Everything in front of us. All possibilities :)
