The middle school students were just starting to flow into the gym yesterday for our second round of their youth group when I saw one of them on the phone. Her dad had dropped her off five minutes before and I was mingling around and saying hi to everyone while a few of my favorite YouTube videos were going on the screen. Since I'd never seen anyone else's phone work in our gym, I took a step over to ask how good the service was, and overheard this:
"There are weird people here, will you come and get me?"

Did this kid end up leaving? Did you you talk to him/her?

She stayed, actually; dad apparently said "No way" on the other end of the phone, and some friends of hers arrived shortly after that, and then things were okay.

Man, I totally know how that feels, I took a bunch of guys I have been working with to an outreach night, apparently the hip hop dancing was going to be good. It was a freakshow for them, they see all these people hugging each other and they are like, "is that guy gay?" then when the hell fire preacher started we all walked out. I lost all credibility with the kids and their parents.
A fair number of them haven't come back since. God bless you bro, the church needs outreach type people to wake them up. www.epicaz.i8.com/stories.html has the whole story
