I thought, what an unusual name! Must be like <em>The Prancing Pony<\/em> in <em>The Lord of the Rings<\/em>\u00a0or a supposedly real pub name &#8220;The Dog&#8217;s Breakfast&#8221;\u2014just an interesting name. Surely it couldn&#8217;t be chicken dinners flying through the air!! But much to our delight, when you order a chicken dinner, the chicken really does fly through the air. No exaggeration. I did not take this video, but it is what we saw and it is how our dinners were delivered to us!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a title=\"The Flying Chicken restaurant, Bangkok\" href=\"http:\/\/youtu.be\/kAKBsyhsjXQ\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Watch a guy on a unicycle catch five flying flaming chickens at a time!<\/a>&nbsp;And remember, each one ends up delivered to a customer for dinner.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Flying Fish!<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>If flying chickens aren&#8217;t your thing, perhaps <a title=\"Pike Place Fish Market, Seattle\" href=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=qHbc9JNhx3E&amp;feature=related\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">flying fish<\/a> at <em>Pike Place Market<\/em> in Seattle area. When someone buys a fish, the employees first have fun throwing it around to each other. It&#8217;s for real and is what makes this fish stall fabulously successful.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>What does this have to do with Christian leadership? Well, I&#8217;m having fun sharing these, and more to the point I&#8217;m sure the employees in the restaurant and market are having fun too!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Fun Working in Christian Ministry<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>We in <strong>Christian ministry<\/strong> are in the serious business of introducing people to a loving relationship with their Creator and in bringing our Creator&#8217;s love and care to all parts of the Earth. But must we be only serious in doing our work? Is there any room for <strong>fun<\/strong>? In&nbsp;<em><a href=\"http:\/\/www.amazon.ca\/gp\/product\/1576754081\/ref=as_li_tf_tl?ie=UTF8&amp;tag=wwwccccorg-20&amp;linkCode=as2&amp;camp=15121&amp;creative=330641&amp;creativeASIN=1576754081\">Fun Works<\/a><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.assoc-amazon.ca\/e\/ir?t=wwwccccorg-20&amp;l=as2&amp;o=15&amp;a=1576754081\" alt=\"\" width=\"1\" height=\"1\" border=\"0\"><\/em>, Leslie Yerkes makes the claim that&nbsp;fun creates energy, is a stress reliever, builds relationships, stimulates creativity, and improves performance. But you can&#8217;t &#8216;do&#8217; fun. You can&#8217;t institutionalize it, program it or tell people to have it! Leaders can support a fun environment, but they can&#8217;t make it happen. Yerkes says that having fun is a grassroots thing. It is spontaneous. It bubbles up.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Fun at Work<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Yerkes details eleven businesses that are very serious about getting hard, tangible results. Employees are held accountable for performance. Make no mistake, a <strong>fun work environment<\/strong> does not mean that serious results aren&#8217;t achieved. No workplace will survive without results. But each of the eleven workplaces has found ways to allow employees to incorporate fun into the workplace while maintaining professional standards of service.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I have no idea what fun might look like in your ministry or mine, because if you try to copy someone else&#8217;s fun it won&#8217;t be fun anymore. So take a risk and as a leader, when you see fun happening in your office, encourage it as much as you can. &nbsp;If it goes too far you can gently set some guidelines, but I think most people are quite aware of what is appropriate for the ministry and what is not. It&#8217;s worth a try to see what develops! I enjoy Pizza Tuesdays at CCCC and hearing laughter in the halls and wonder what else might develop.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Do you have a fun work environment? Why not describe it and how it developed?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Last July, I took my whole family to Bangkok to visit our daughter Jessica, who is on a two-year teaching assignment (Grade 4) and who will be taking on a two-year missionary assignment in Bangkok when that comes to an end.
