New Orleans, LA - Big Support


Acts
Originally uploaded by offyonder
Dick Davenport gave a great workshop today on the first 8 chapters in the book of Acts. He brought to light contemporary themes for us to consider as we continue the work Jesus started.

There were about 55 folks in attendance and Dick introduced me just before the lunch break and allowed me to tell everyone about DiscoveryBound and how they can help. I basically break it down into four ways... none of which are exclusive of the other:

1) Chapter Worker - a member of the local board taking an active roll in planning local or regional events for CS youth and their friends.

2) Church Contact - ideally each church will have someone receiving information about DB events and will promote those events to their Sunday School Students and parents.

3) General Volunteer - someone who wants to help on occasion but cannot commit to be actively involved in the regular planning process.

4) Resources - From donors to folks who are willing to host an event on their property and/or have boats, ATV's or other toys available to be used by the chapter for an event.

New Orleans has all of the above save someone willing to step forward as the Board Chairperson to lead the group forward. Over 20 people have expressed interest in a supporting role. I think it's just a matter of letting the buzz work it's magic and we'll have someone soon.
