前回の英文の続きです。

１．　RELATIONSHIPの続編です。

So what am I trying to say about the assemblies? Well, young people in our assemblies are starving for “relationship”. I didn’t say “relationships”, but relationship. This doesn’t mean relationships with each other either (it is a false assumption to think our young people are leaving just because an assembly is small). They leave because they are starving for encouragement in their relationship with the Lord, and we would do well to maximize on the potential here that if relationships are paramount to Gen Y, then why not encourage them in their personal relationship with the Lord? Unfortunately, due to an imbalance in ministry, which I will touch on later, our young people are really lost in the area of cultivating a relationship with their Lord.
