Lebanon, here we come...

We received confirmation this morning that we have been invited to be the speakers for the annual Lebanon Church of God Youth Camp at the end of the summer.  For those of you who know us well, you know that we have always enjoyed speaking with and encouraging youth and young adults in the faith.  This is a really exciting opportunity and we're blessed by the invitation.

As we get to know our region, we are learning about cultural activities and events as well as the Churches.   We recently read about a campaign in Lebanon called "Lebanon Better".

This campaign began with graffiti on a wall, and has led to temporary "walls" and a the virtual wall website that receives posts via Twitter and Facebook, too.  The public displays not only invite the contributions of the public, but also encourage the reflection by the public of other contributions.

We will be eager to meet the young people of Lebanon and the Church leaders.  Perhaps as we seek to encourage one another and build one another up in the faith, we can also consider together how the Church of God in Lebanon could be better if...

Here's an idea: what about putting up "[Your church name] would be better if..." in your classrooms or your foyer?  What ideas would you expect to get?  What ideas could you incorporate?  What do these suggestions say about the ethos of your fellowship?
