It is almost time for the most exciting time of the year. In the 3 years that I have done holiday club it has always been a life changing experience where I meet amazing people with stories I would otherwise never hear. And where I make friends whom I hope to keep for a life time.
This is one event that which as soon as it is done planning for the next one begins, it needs intense detail to leave enough room for fun, for the kids and the leaders. Its funny how this whole program is a process that can only be seen for what is it by someone who was in it and was out of it. It cannot be judged in the meantime only after. Holiday Club builds character and that is one thing you can not buy or do on your own. I have a totally new appreciation for the directors and behind the scene faceless crew who make all of this happen. I say new because in the past I have always seen it as people who have to organize the piece of the puzzle but now I see that the puzzle pieces have to be made before they can be used. The making is the most difficult part because of the time it takes to prepare and the clear vision it requires. One can not simply make something without seeing how it will look and what it will be used for.
And so I encourage and applause every single person who invested into holiday club: leaders, mentors, directors, pastors, businesses, and the church. Thank you for your dedication, time, focus, finances, prayers and willing hearts so that in one week there can be lots of fun and importantly that thousands of lives can be changed.
