Eager Young Minds
One of the many joys of this mission trip is the diversity of unplanned ministry opportunities that have added value to our primary mission activity for both our team and hosts. Last week I was asked to present a seminar on 'Problem Solving' to a class of high school students. Today I was asked to present a seminar on leadership to a class of vocational school students. Both seminars excited me as they appealed to my passion as a leader to equip others!
With
the arrival of Neville last night, Nyoman seized the moment by offering
Neville one of the topics he was required to teach to the same group of
students. Despite the late request, Neville stepped up to the plate
and willingly accepted the offer. So, Neville taught on 'Healthy
Relationships', I taught on the 'Nature of a Leader' and Nyoman taught
on 'Drugs and Sexuality.' What a team!
One of
the funny moments of the day was driving to the location of the seminar.
Due to an interruption by one of the Palu teachers as we were about to
leave, we were running very late and the morning Palu traffic didn't
help matters either. Just as we were about to make a right turn at a
main round-a-bout a police motorcade with sirens blaring entered the
intersection stopping all traffic to allow them through. Except Nyoman!
He saw it as an opportunity to tag on the end of the last police
vehicle and use it as a police escort. It worked!! The normally heavy
traffic pulled aside to allow the police vehicles (and us) through,
giving us a clear run all the way to our destination in a fraction of
the time. Genius!
