One of the things I enjoy most about my job is the opportunity I have to get to know new staff. During an Military Community Youth Ministries “discernment” weekend, people from all over the country gather at MCYM headquarters in Colorado Springs to find out more about working with military teenagers. These weekends are like extended interviews, both for the prospective staff to learn about MCYM and for us to learn about the staff. I have been blessed to meet some really great people, and continue to be impressed by the folks that God is bringing from all over the country who are willing to say, “Here I am, send me”! All those that come on staff are required to raise a significant portion of their salary. The great news is that the possibility of fund-raising does not seem to be deterring people from wanting to serve in this ministry! The last few recruitment weekends MCYM has hosted have been full. Those that are called to this ministry are confident in God’s ability to provide for their needs, in spite of the struggling economy. These people are my heroes. They know and feel Gods call on their lives and they ACT. This is a hard time to raise missionary money to minister to Military brats. But then again The worlds economy is not Gods economy. Keep listening for his call, ya never know!

What a great group of people. These folks dedicate their lives to some hurting kids.
