Well it's been a week and I thought it was about time I let everyone in on the new job I have.
Here is how it went down:
Thursday, Oct. 25th - I see an add in the paper for teacher at a Charter School here in Corpus. I email my resume.
Friday, Oct. 26th - I get an email to come in that day for an interview. I go and the interview goes great. I get the vibe that it's a done deal.
Monday, Oct. 29th - I get an email I got it and to come in and do paperwork.
Tuesday, Oct. 30th - I start my first day.
I am now officially the new biology/health/family and career development/p.e. teacher at a Charter School that reaches out to at-risk students in the Corpus Christi Area. Now, don't get an ideas this is no easy job. I have my work cut out for me. But it is a great opportunity to work with teens who our society has given up on. Most of these teens have been kicked out of several schools, have troubled backgrounds, history of gangs, drug use, etc...there are some that have chosen to come to get caught up and get credits.
It is for me an opportunity to be fully immersed in these teens world and see life from their perspective. I also hope to give a few take-aways I see about how the church is failing in reaching them along the way.

- My blogs are about creating content that ministry leaders can find practical and inspirational. They are about sharing the ministry principles and experiences we have accumulated since 1995. It’s about being innovative, unique, and creating content that can help you make a difference. Whether you are a pastor, ministry leader, volunteer, friend or family, these blogs are written for you. With ministry experience in three churches since 1995, I have a passion for helping ministry leaders excel in what they do. With youth ministry success in two churches and working on staff for a 4,000 member church, it is my desire to give back to the ministry community as a whole. I am a Church Planter and Campus Pastor for Bay Area Fellowship in Corpus Christi, Texas. I am about influencing and developing others to make a difference in their world. This blog contains the random inner workings of his mind and in no way reflects the thoughts or opinions of Bay Area Fellowship, the BAF staff or the people who attend BAF.

Hey, man. I teach English for high school here in Kentucky. Been teaching for 10 years. If you need some materials, recommendations, or pointers on writing and reading instruction, just let me know.
Wow! Congratulations. Talk about digging in deep. I imagine you'll have opportunity to reach these teens in the role of a teacher. I'm excited for you.
Hey, we now have one more thing in common. I'm prayin for you, and looking forward to seeing things progress.
