Yesterday I began the process of writing an article about Guardians, a program within the Inglés Student Ministries (ISM) branch of Youth World. Throughout my afternoon hanging out with the chaplains at Alliance Academy and the high school juniors and seniors who really run the program, there were tons of entertaining moments I just had to write about, but knew should never make it into something published with our organization’s name officially attached.
My first and favorite was when my friend Ashley had all of the kids circle around Dani, the girl who was speaking during the whole-group program. Her directions were “Everyone circle around and touch Dani… appropriately.” I’ve actually been in several adult groups where that particular disclaimer might have been helpful and effective. It’s going to be fun hanging out with this group as I work on the article.
