There was an awesome Christian youth convention between Dec. 28 and Dec. 30. There were around 2500 kids there. I was a crisis counselor there over the weekend, and was blessed myself. It will be at the Niagara Falls Conference Center again next year. Michelle.
Just curious Michelle, what sort of crises were there at a Christian youth convention that required a counselor?:confused:

This awakening can be very troubling. Not to the point of self harm but very emotional none the less. The counselors are there to reassure the person that these feelings are normal and also to share Scripture with that person. There are ways of presenting the Gospel that can be offensive and ways that will make the hearer want to hear more. The goal of the counselor is to have the hearer want to hear more.Quote:
