The thing is, whether you agree that’s the spirit or now (I do), the percentage of YP who stay isn’t good. It bothers me a little that those YP are ignored and they try so hard for “fresh meat” with college kids. To be fair, I know of several situations where some of the saints are in contact with former YP who don’t attend but it’s on a personal level. The pressure of Christians of campus (red flag- not using church’s name) to get kids seems more important.
Whether or not you even agree they’re doing the Lord’s work, I think the pressure they’re putting on people for the “Lord’s move” in Europe isn’t right. I know of several full timers wives that I know regret choices they’ve made! It’s so sad to see them try to make the best of their choices! I just don’t think it’s right to put that pressure on young kids like that- very upsetting to me...
Have you seen that kind of pressure too? I’m hoping not and maybe I just know more than I should about their situations or what I know is off but I have heard some regrets- no doubt.
