My little bit of evangelism

As far back as I can remember, the different circles I occupy have been more or less distinct from one another. We've got school friends, church friends, CCA friends, friends from camps, friends from one-off events, friends from switching schools, and so forth. With respect to the title of the post, I think I've only ever invited Cherry and Paul (paul: have I ever invited you to a church camp before?) to church camp, and the year later she was there again without my knowledge (Shiping followed up and invited again, bless her soul). This despite having sat on 3 camp committees, and helped out in games/played for worship/led or facilitated a group in just about every other except for last year's YAM Camp (Faith Factor; I must admit I would have gained a lot from it for this year's organizing experience. Bother.). This time, though, I have been led to capitalize on the unique experience of organizing YAM Camp 2009 (Fruitips), and unique for a number of reasons including the capacity in which I'm serving, the location and facilities at our disposal and the congruence of target campers and timing of camp. I believe fully in that who is meant to be at the camp will be at the camp, yet I am also burdened to be a catalyst of some sort. I've invited 5 friends, and do not think I shall increase this number (I do not know who else to ask, it would seem), though it would have been more had some (one?) of them not not been out of the country (double negatives ftw). Minus one confirmed out-of-the-country and we're down to 4, and Paul's more or less confirmed already, as is Ron given the caveat of one and/or two of the other 2 being there. Which is why the other two are the target of much persuasion at the moment, and I must find the words to say.

"A prayer in time of need" would be the title of a post jotted down but not blogged.
