Dear Calbreak Staff Team:
We are about to embark on the 44th California Breakaway!! We are so excited that we are able to share God’s story with the youth of our province. We’re thankful for each of you for taking time from your busy lives to help reach these kids. Each of us have different gifts/roles on the trip but each person is important to its success. Our prayer is that you'll find this trip both fun and rewarding.
California Breakaway has 2 main goals:
First, we want to give students the best trip of their lives.
2. That every student would connect with a deeper purpose for their life as they consider who God created them to be.
Remember, even though we come from different areas and are on different places in our spiritual journey, we are all on the same team. A great verse to remember for this is
“Above all, love each other deeply, because love covers over a multitude of sins.”
Please pray that we will be unified as a team. We must admit that we’re not perfect, and at times you as staff will have to be patient with us as decisions/details have to be taken care of. If for some reason kids are complaining or things are not working well, please stay positive. If our staff can remain positive and supportive of each other, that attitude will pass on to the kids. Remember, ultimately we're all here for the same reason - to share Jesus Christ with these young people!!
The most important thing you can do now is to be in prayer and prepare yourself spiritually. Get others and your church praying for you as well. Prayer is vital for effective ministry.
Once again, thanks for your time served in this ministry. Your adventure is waiting...
