balance a bucket of water
on the feet of each team
of youth, stabilizing it until
they can keep it stable on
their own.

6. Take it to the Next Level
• What strategies did you
have for stabilizing the
bucket of water?
• How were you able to free
team members up to
perform the necessary
tasks while still supporting
the bucket of water?
• In what ways is the bucket
like the objectives or goals
of an organization or
group?

7. • What are some of the
objectives and goals that
you must support in a
church, youth group, or
organization?
• How can working as a
team support the goals
and objectives yet also
free people up to perform
necessary individual tasks
and responsibilities?
• What are the potential
consequences when there
is too little manpower to
support the goals and
objectives of an
organization?

8. Bible Studies based on the book of Jonah
Only. This youth camp curriculum was
designed to teach the basic truths
of obedience in addition to evangelism in the
context of a Biblical character. The advantage
of going through a book and looking at one
man's story is that we see not only the
teaching but the example. It becomes much
more real!

-> Tell me about “Who Do You Say that I AM?”
Jesus asked the disciples, "Who do others
say that I am?" It was easy to answer
because it required no conviction, no
commitment, and no risk. But then he
follows that question with another, "Who
do YOU say that I am?"
