Operation S.F.C. is a one month program used to bring unity and excitement to the Mililani Baptist Youth minsitry. It uses the military theme to reach out to P.O.W.'s (guests) and M.I.A.'s (members who haven't come in a long time). During the busy month of February we will divide our Youth group into military type squads. The goal of using this program for the month is to develop student leaders and bring additional excitement. Squads will compete for weekly attendance points, special event points, scripture memory points, bringing a guest points and bringing a member who has not been to church youth group in a while. Operation S.F.C. is only a tool for the Mililani Baptist Church Youth to accomplish the Great Commission: "And Jesus came and spake unto them, saying, All power is given unto me in heaven and in earth. Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost: Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you alway, even unto the end of the world."

Encourage them to attend all youth group activities. 3. Encourage each squad member to invite at least one person to each youth group activity. 4. Pray (over the Phone) with them for their needs and the needs of the other squad members.
B. See that the Sergeant is planning an OPERATION S.F.C. Event: 1. The Event can be any time your squad wants it to be between February 1 - - March 1, 1998. 2. The event can be anything FUN you want to do (anything Christ would do)! 3. To qualify for an OPERATION S.F.C. Event: a. All members should be there. You will be docked points for each member NOT present. b. The Youth Minister or a Sunday School Worker must be contacted BEFORE the event. Leave a message on answering machines if you are unable to talk directly to them. c. Spend some time in prayer -- share prayer requests and pray for them. Note: Everyone does not have to pray outloud, but that would be desirable. d. If a Sunday School teacher or the Youth Minister is invited, extra points will be given.
C. See that the Corporal records the attendance of each member for each Youth group event or meeting. They must give the attendance sheet to the Youth Minister to assure each squad member will get credit for their attendance. If your Corporal is not present it is your responsibility to appoint someone to this task (or do it yourself).
D. Each week assign members a prayer partner.

| Feel free to use the ideas generated by OPERATION S.F.C. (Students For Christ) in anyway God leads. Tweak it, mold it, change it, BUT DO NOT ATTEMPT TO MAKE MONEY WITH IT. If you do you will have to tell me, when we get to heaven, WHY!!
You could use the idea but use a Sports Theme or an Olympic theme. |
