"Remember: The ark was builty by amateurs; the Titanic was built by professionals." -Leonard Sweet; Aqua Church
This quote really makes me think! In all the madness of developing lay-led non-professional youth ministry, I think it's important to remember how God was always faithful to give the amateurs everything they needed to accomplish amazing things for Him! When Noah was building the ark, he had never seen rain before. When we're talking about youth ministries developing into something transformational, in many churches, there is no example of what this will look like. God equips the amateurs to do things they've never done before. Trust Him!
