Does size matter?

This past weekend I was with a group of Jr. High students from Evangelical Missionary Churches from Alberta. This is the first time they have done this event they call JR Pitch in Alberta. They do a similar event in Ontario and get close to 1200 students to attend. They were hoping they would get between 150 and 200 students. When I arrived Friday night they only had about 50 students in attendance all from small rural churches. This was a bit discouraging for the organizers but they were committed to carrying on with what they had planned. The great thing was that the students did seem to care there were only 50 of them there they entered into what was planned with good enthusiasm! When it came time for sessions they were all ears.

A couple of leaders told me that my talks generated some awesome discussions in the small group times that were scheduled for after each session. Some students made a point of letting me know that they had sensed God speaking to them about various issues. Apparently size does not matter!
