Bring me your tired, your weary, your filthy....cell phones.

MBC wants to ask YOU to donate old cell phones! This effort is simple, easy, and it's a win for everyone!

1. You clear out the old phones sitting around in your sock drawer.
2. Ask your cousin/mom/grandma/next door neighbor to do the same.
3. Send in the phones to MBC or give them to your church youth leaders.
4. MBC sends them in.
5. MBC receives a check.
6. MBC buys new furniture for our canteen area!
7. Campers at camp this summer say "Wow, that is cool! You mean I don't have to sit on rusty metal chairs anymore at canteen?"
8. Guys/gals in oversea countries get refurbished phones.
9. Your sock drawer is no longer plagued with useless junk.

Why you should encourage students to come to Yourlife 2.11

Yourlife 2.11 is an event hosted here at Maranatha Bible Camp. It is put on by area Campus Ministries for High School Seniors and Juniors. It might be the most unique and the most important event we have at MBC - although all our events are unique and important.

First of all, I have never heard of any other event quite like this anywhere. So for the youth worker wanting something fresh for their students, this is it. It is led by Campus ministry leaders and the students. Real interaction and leadership happens from those who are "in the trenches" to those who are getting ready to step into that arena.

Second, it is really important. There is arguably no more dangerous time in a person's spiritual life than the young adult years - right out of high school and thrust into the chaos and unbridled freedom and lack of accountability that is found on the college campus.

Yourlife 2.11 is all about challenging students to think through those issue before the day they face them. It's about realizing that campus ministry should be their first thought in going off to college, not their last.

My question to anyone reading this is, if you have not encouraged someone to go, why not? it might be one of the best things you could do for that young person.

Finally, these guys that do campus ministry are truly the front line of this battle for the next generation. Anything and everything should be done to support them.
