The whole week John had been leading the Action folks through a week of training and team work. We decided to ask, "what do you want to talk about?" on the first night of the trip, and we created talks and activities from the feed back. Mental toughness was of particular interest so over lunch the next day we headed to the IUPUI campus for some mental toughness training; preaching.
The guys all did great. In 3 groups of 3-4, we fanned out over the student union grounds. The first guy gave a 5 min talk on Jesus and/or began reading from the ressurection account in the Gospels. The other two followed with further ampliphed readings. My group posted up in from of the Starbucks Coffee, situated in one of the outside corners of the building. We were able to stand out on the sidewalk and yell so everyone in the building could hear. While most tried turned around or chuckled everyone heard the Gospel, and all the guys were stoked.
John gave two talks and the guys would come to him for advice throughout the week with questions that they'd been stirred by in the evening sessions. John said, "I've never been totally responsible for that many guys for that long." It was a good push.
