National Network Forum on December 8th

Dear NNYM Friends,

I would like to cordially invite you to a National Network Forum on December 8Th. The Network Forum will be held at the Grove City Church of the Nazarene in Grove City, Ohio located on 4770 Hoover Rd., and will begin at the crack of 10am and run until 3pm. Our special guest for our Network Forum is Doug Clark, who is our National Ministries Director for The National Network of Youth Ministries. A FREE lunch will be provided!

What is the purpose of all of this? For the past couple of years, The National Network of Youth Ministries has been asking hard questions about how we can better reach kids. We talk about that “every kid, in every school, and in every community should be given the opportunity to make an informed decision for Christ.”

This is where you come in. I am not inviting you to the latest program about how NNYM is going to accomplish this goal. Rather, we want to have a dialog with you on how we can best do this.

NNYM does have some ideas that will be communicated that we have initially called “Communities 4 Hope,” but we need to hear from you! How do we in Ohio reach every kid, in every school and in every community?

December 8Th is a great opportunity to gather, and see how the Lord is working in our state. What you are doing to reach kids is invaluable. Your attendance at this National Network Forum is also invaluable!

Please let me know that you can attend. This will be an outstanding time together!

Pray Continually & Take Risks!

Walking With Youth Through A Death February 22, 2012
Death is never fun to experience but we have to prepare to walk with our students through it in order to serve them well and honor God through it, also. I don't enjoy it but I've become very good at dealing with death and helping people sort through the pain, anguish and emotional rollercoaster that it can have on a family. I deal with death almost […]
Going Forward When Life Stops February 20, 2012
I went to Rolly Richert's memorial services in Detroit on February 15th. He was only 63, was recovering from his cancers and showed up in Atlanta three months ago to help produce the Youth Specialties Convention. Last month he almost went with his grandkids to Disney World. As we stood at his graveside, several of us agreed that it seemed surreal -- too […]
Eleven Good Meetings February 17, 2012
"Build it, and they will come." That may be a great movie tagline, but it doesn't necessarily work for building a healthy ministry network in your community. If we want our networks to grow, it’s not enough to just open your doors once a month, invite a bunch of youth workers, set up chairs around a table, and expect that will result in […]
Rolly Richert - A Hero February 14, 2012
Rolly Richert was a hero to many of us in youth ministry -- an example of perseverance, creativity, commitment, humility and building others. He advanced the cause of youth ministries on hundreds of fronts and impacted millions of lives, most often from behind the scenes. Rolly received his reward in the presence of our Savior on February 10, 2012 -- much ea […]
Adding Dimensions to Prayer in Your Network February 13, 2012
In your networking with others does your prayer sometimes seem flat? it is easy to get into a rut in our prayer. Sometimes we think of prayer only as a to do list for God. However, there are ways bring new dimensions prayer in your network. Last year at the Simply Youth Ministry conference Mark Orr, our New England Regional Coordinator, shared how networks c […]
5 Expectations Our Students Deserve February 11, 2012
In a world where students are rewarded for mediocrity I firmly believe that it is time for the church to set itself apart by expecting more from our students! If Jesus could change the world using mostly teenagers (see Matthew 17 for a clue as to why I believe He did hint only Jesus and Peter owed taxes and to owe taxes you had to be over 20) than why […]
The Newsboys Prove "Better Together" February 8, 2012
According to a recent USA Today/Gallup poll, Vermont is ranked as the 50th least religious state, or stated another way, we are the least churched state in the entire country. This is likely because Vermonters see themselves as ruggedly independent, capable of making it on their own, and skeptical of any need for salvation other than one of their own making. […]
Broken for Community Impact February 6, 2012
I still remember my first day in youth ministry. I was a wide-eyed idealistic 17-year-old kid who was asked by his youth pastor to become a small group leader to a bunch of junior high boys. Wow! I had big plans. These plans included being used by God to revolutionize these kids thinking about Jesus and I was going to mobilize them to do ministry and reach a […]

Take Time to Ponder January 30, 2012
We are all familiar with the wonderful story of Jesus birth in Luke 2. We are gripped by the trip to Bethlehem and the fact that Jesus is born in a stable. We marvel at the announcement by angels to the lowly shepherds. We appreciate the initiative of the shepherds to come and see the baby and share his arrival with others. But, embedded in th […]
