Changes!

So this is the week where we say goodbye to Clive at Bikers Church! I'm a little sad to see him go because he has been such an inspiration to our youth over the years. Clive has volunteered as our youth pastor for over 6 years always with a smile, without requesting to be compensated for his time and mostly without ever complaining about the youth and the direction of the church. He has helped me and others deal with some issues and he has always been there since the first day he decided to help. I can count on 1 hand how many times he has missed since the first day. So I would like to take the time to honour him, to wish him good luck in whatever he decides to do and to ask God to bless him like he has blessed us at Bikers' Church.

Clive my friend you will be missed and we look forward to having you come and visit us if and when you have a chance. The youth and the leadership will miss you.

So as of next week I will be responsible for the youth at Bikers Church. We have a new name "The Journey", a new look and feel and very shortly a new website called thejourneyyouthgroup.com. We will focus on mentoring, teaching the next generation to teach the next generation..., growing spiritually and creating an environment where the youth of the city can come and feel safe and share ideas goals and dreams. Our philosophy will be based on the principle found in 1 Timothy 4:12 "Don't let anyone look down on you because you are young, but set an example for the believers in speech, in life, in love, in faith and in purity."

As soon as the website is up and running I will post it here.

Talk at you later

Marty
