This is a special year for us as we start our 20th year as this ministry. First up in our celebration is a completely new webpage in the next few weeks. For the rest of the year, we will continue to follow how God leads us in our wild frontier. Will you join us?

I was wearing jeans that day (dress jeans for those who understand that fashion) and the practice for the rest of the staff is to rarely wear a tie. Randy’s appearance was a shock to us, many whom have known him his entire life.

Much has been said and written about the lack of rites of passage for teens these days. We decided to help by providing lots of real ideas. We have compiled seven life stages which a teen and young adult goes through. Each life stage has two columns of ideas. One column is for the youth worker to do something and one column is for the parent. This download makes a great resource for the youth worker and an even better resource for the youth worker to give to the parent. This is a .pdf download and is available for free HERE.

(Perhaps we should call them STPs). A pilgrim goes on a journey to meet God in a faraway place, hoping to return as a different person from the one who left. In medieval times, Europe particularly was crisscrossed with pilgrimage routes, with the destination usually being a notable church or site of a saint's relics.

In Brenda's chapter, When Parents Don't Respect You , she talks about the epiphany she had nine years ago that changed her ministry after 19 years of being Brenda-centric. Of course, that led to the creation of this resource site. Other true stories are When the Van Breaks Down, When Your Spouse Gets Ignored, When You Fail Morally. The Youth Worker Book of Hope is available at www.youthspecialties.com (http://www.youthspecialties.com/) and bookstores everywhere. Front Page - Front Page Fri, 07 Aug 2009 11:12:45 +0100
