I had a great and amusing time with Lyndsay, the new director of Chislehurst YFC, today. We batted around her dreams and vision for the area and considered what we could do to reach young people.

My job is now to take her ideas and weave them int a mission plan with her so that it makes sense to the people she works with and for.

While in Lyndsay’s office I took this picture. She has this weird but nifty little button which does just what it says – opens the tea and coffee cupboard in the kitchen about 20 metres down the hall. Upstairs the equally creative person has installed electric window openers to the windows in the youth room. It’s quite bizarre really, but this creative guy has time on his hands and wants to make life easier for those working there.

Wouldn’t it be great to have a button to push when you just want something done. I want a button which fires people up for mission. Or a button which shocks people (Simpsons style) into seeing what God sees around them. I want a button that enables the rich to give and the poor to receive. Or a button which allows people to understand the ‘lifestyle is worship’ thing.

C’mon God … push the button!
