WHAT YOU’LL LEARN:
You will get shot at, but God is with you.
WHAT YOU NEED:
150 sheets of paper, 10 contestants
PREPARATION:
Make paper "snowballs" by crumpling the paper into balls. Make 150 "snowballs" (15 per contestant.)
INSTRUCTIONS:
• Divide your contestants into two teams (five on each team).
• When you announce “Go” they can begin throwing their "snowballs" at each other.
• At some point, you should jump into the snowball fight. The kids will start throwing their snowballs at you.
SPIRITUAL APPLICATION:
Why did you all throw the "snowballs" at me? Because I am a leader. When you all came up and ganged up on me, what if I had pouted and gotten really upset? If you are a leader you will get shot at. You have to realize that if you are going to be a leader, you need to toughen up. Boys and Girls, at some point you will get shot at too. If you play the game, you have to expect that you will get shot at. It would be wrong 
for me to jump into the fight and not expect to get hit. Even though sometimes in life it feels like everyone in the world is ganging up on you, you need to realize that you are not alone! God is always on your side! A leader always knows that he is not alone. Just like 2 Chronicles 13:12 says, “God is with us; he is our leader,” a leader knows who his leader is. God is our leader and we need to remember that He is always there for us. Can you imagine if Jesus was on the cross and he just stopped and told everyone that it was just too hard, and that He didn’t want to do this anymore? But, thank God, He didn’t! No, Jesus went through everyone shooting at him and cussing Him out and even spitting on Him. Literally, the Bible says that He bore are sins, and that means everyone who ever lived. Jesus is the perfect example of a great leader! Keep this in mind when you feel like everyone is ganging up on you. You will get shot at, but it is nothing like the shots that Jesus took for us.
