World Youth Convention

a Jesus thought...
As he looked up, Jesus saw the rich putting their gifts into the temple treasury. 2He also saw a poor widow put in two very small copper coins. "I tell you the truth," he said, "this poor widow has put in more than all the others. 4All these people gave their gifts out of their wealth; but she out of her poverty put in all she had to live on." (Luke 21:1-4)

a Godly thought...
I’m praying that God will help me to respond rather than react when others irritate and wound me, and to keep my mouth shut. (p79 Lucas)

a leading thought...
The two most important words in a leader’s vocabulary are listen and learn. (p141 Finzel)

a Dave thought...
The General is pleased to announced his decision that a World Youth Convention will be held in Sweden during 2010. The date, location and other details will be announced in due course. In connection with this youth-focused global event, the General has appointed Colonel Birgitte Brekke as World Youth Convention Organizer, effective 14 January 2008. Colonel Brekke's rich international Salvation Army service renders her eminently suited to the planning and preparation for this significant event.
In a world that moves so fast it hard for us all to imagine where we will be in 3 years time. Young people are especially transient and pursue several courses of study and occupations in just a handful of years. But the convention is a great initiative by our General and if I can be there I will. As the youth will shape the future of The Salvation Army in the years to some we might as well gather them together and be proactive about the direction we are heading. So do your best to get there or else help someone else make the journey to SAWYC in Sweden 2010.

Just a thought.
