I have returned from camp

Wow, what a week I experienced! I took my youth group to LIFT camp this week and boy did the Spirit speak! Of the 14 kids I took to camp, 7 of them accepted Jesus as Savior!  The overwhelming message was to "Stop running FROM Jesus and start running WITH Jesus." Hearts were pierced!

Shopping for Camp

If you've had the opportunity to go to a Christian youth camp while a kid, you know how incredibly awesome it is. But this next Monday, I've got the distinct honor to go to youth camp as a youth pastor!! My very first youth camp with the kids in my youth group! Today I'm spending time shopping for supplies! Wow, what a blessing...

Today's Thought

Ministry is like a football game. 60,000 people watching while 22 people do all the work

Kudos to Jason Williams

One of the greatest sins in the church is we have made it ok to sit and do nothing and call yourself a Christ-follower.

Ministry Idea

So, one type of business that is great to tap into for ministry opportunities is Mom and Pop business'. A local small pizza place (popular around here) has partnered up with our church. Our pastor plows his parking lot when it snows and so we've gotten to know him and his wife over the last little while. When we have our launch service, the owner has agreed to let us paste flyers onto the top of his pizza boxes! Every pizza that is sold for a week before our launch will have a flyer inviting that customer to our church! How awesome is that? He's not charging us anything. Use this idea! There are other idea's as well and I'd love to share them. Do you have any idea's for me? I'd love to hear them
