The messages of Middle School Disciple Now centered around the story of Jonah. He was called to go to a place he did not want to go and to minister to people he did not want to minister to. As a part of DNOW, we wanted to create a ministry opportunity that was similar to Jonah's, so we decided to serve at Thompson Middle School. It is a place the students did not want to go, and we were helping people they did not normally want to help, the school staff and their peers.However scary the task might have been, the middle schoolers jumped right in and did an excellent job of serving. 100 middle schoolers canvassed the campus and picked up trash. It wasn't changing the world or saving a city like Jonah did, but it was a socially and emotionally challenging project for our students. And, unlike Jonah, they responded with instant obedience.
