12×1 or 1×12?

I met with the YFC people co-ordinating Mission in London today. We achieved a lot and are ready to move on into our next year – so if you know anyone who wants to give time to mission urge them to have a look at the website.

We want to be helping people to grow and reflect, so all people involved in MiL will be assigned a mentor whose role will be to help the person reflect on what they are doing, how they are doing it, and so on.

A few meetings ago I think it was Hugh who came up with

‘ 12 years experience; is that 1 year repeated 12 times, or 12 different years : 12×1 or 1×12?’

One year repeated over and over again, making the same mistakes each time, doing the same thing each year; or 12 years, the experience from each building on what has been learned previously.

We want people to reflect, to learn and so gain year after year of good reflective experience: if we can achieve that we can see this fantastic city of London transformed.
