youth ministery in Malawi

so last night (wed.) after chapel a brother named Russel. i had known that the juniors and seniors here at the school have started reaching out to the youth in the close by villages with the gospel, but i hadnt known how it came about or how they were doing it. Russel turned out to be the guy that is in charge of that ministry. the thing was he came up to me asking how to do youth ministry. talk about humility! this guy was standing in front of me with a furrowed brow, concerned with the youth of his nation, and he desperately wants to serve them accurately and really help them understand the grace of christ. it was so crazy after a week of mostly thinking i have wasted peoples time coming here, cause while this trip is cool for me, i have just felt like im not really doing ministry that anyone else could do. All i could do was encourage him to use the gifts of those around him and not fall into the pressure of creating program instead of relationships. man, i always wanted to be in the position to help someone do something like that. i am just humbled and small. i really cant wait to go home and conjor all the recources i have to help this guy out. i mean this could be a huge movement of youth in this country! i dont know, im just really humble.
