"But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness,
goodness, faithfulness, and self-control." Gal. 5:22-23a
Doing
Our actions, our doing, are the out workings of our knowledge (Knowing) and character (Being). Fruitful activity for God is not pursued in and of itself; it comes by way of knowing, and being in line with, God. A balanced schedule of service, training and community allows the students to continually grow and be effective servants, imitating the example of Jesus Christ who came to serve, not to be served. Youth will follow a program involving spiritual disciplines, including prayer/quiet times, worship, Bible study, and reading. They will also be trained in and serve in practical areas of ministry, which may include such areas as food and guest services, administration, program implementation for youth and children, teaching and maintenance.
"For Him the whole body, joined and held together by every supporting ligament,
grows and builds itself up in love, as each part does its work" Eph. 4:16
