Yesterday I headed up to New Braunfels, about 30 miles out of San Antonio (see map at right... markers are CS Churches in the area) to visit with Judy & Chris Schwab. Judy has been through a number of careers including as an opera singer in Europe and at the New York Metropolitan Opera, she's worked as a teacher and is now in the Christian Science Healing Practice. Judy is very active with the youth in the area. They have about 15 students in their Sunday School now, and with a generous grant from the Sunnyside Foundation they will be hosting a weekly Bible Study workshop with local disadvantaged youth, many of whom will attend the CS Sunday School as well.
Judy put me in touch with Jeanne, the church clerk who, with the board, approved letting me speak to the membership about DiscoveryBound. There were about 10-15 folks in attendance and along with giving a quick overview of what DB is, I invited them to attend the meeting tonight as we work to get a San Antonio Chapter Board constructed.
As it turns out, after telling of our bi-annual Australia trip, one of the New Braunfels members used to work at the Australian Easter Camp many years ago!
There was also some interest in the Adult Expedition trip to Turkey!
