T&T Ultimate Adventure #1 Update

Give a man a fish and feed him for a day. Teach a man how to fish and feed him for a lifetime. We want to teach a T&T clubber lifelong discipleship so he will be able to spiritually nurture himself for a lifetime.

1. So that all children and youth throughout the world would come to know, love and serve the Lord Jesus Christ. 2. To do deeper discipleship. 3. To see more children and teens become “Modern Day Josephs.” WHY

Answer Key (back of the book)

Fast Track 15 Minutes before club Three benefits of doing it before club!! 1.Have many leaders on hand. 2.Clubber promptness in arriving before club begins. 3.Start focusing on the night’s lesson. *If it is too difficult to do it this way then make a special time during the night to do fast track, but not during small group. Consider adjustments and modifications. This is a time before or during the club meeting to do the verse recitation (this week’s new verse and last week’s review verse). This lightens the load of small group time in order to interact with clubbers.
