In this time of the year when we have less light
in our days and more work on our desks, let us
pause to give thanks for the many ways God
continues to bless our ministry to, with and for
youth.
For this week, we offer you the following:
-
Youth
Ministry across the nation lost a great friend last
week. Your prayers are requested for family
and friends of
Mike Yaconelli,
the founder of
Youth Specialities,
and a legend in youth ministry. Mike died last week following a car
accident in California.
