What an idea . . . It’ll be interesting to watch and gauge its effectiveness. Thanks for the link. Keep up the good work . . .
Your the man, Tim Schmoyer! I love this idea. And, like Andy, I am interested in the effectiveness.
I am also interested to see how effective it will be. I am also drawn to the conclusion that it’s effectiveness partly depends on our participation and our faith that it will be effective. If we believe it will be effective then our students are more likely to go all out, but if we don’t then our students wont either. Let’s get on board and go for it. It’s worth it if it’s effective at all.
Since when were we called to be effective witnesses? How effective was Christ? Well, the masses ended up hating him. How effective were the apostles? 11 of them were killed. How effective was Paul who spent the majority of the rest of his ministry trying to fix problems in this new thing called the Body of Christ. Doesn’t look like they were real effective from the world’s standards, and neither are we called to be. We are called to be faithful. It will be effective if we are witnesses for Christ.
