I get to minister alongside some of the greatest, most dedicated youth volunteers in the world! Seriously. These team players are dedicated to seeing students mature in their faith, and modeling that commitment in their own lives as well. We just had a leader appreciation luncheon, and at this luncheon, I also shared our vision and goals for the new year. Here's what our ministry is focusing on in 2009 in four simple words: ACCEPT...FOLLOW...LEAD...MODEL.
That's it. If you can't narrow down your focus, its too broad. We've narrowed it down to these concepts and they will define our ministry for this year and I believe in the years to come. Here's the four goals spelled out a bit more:
1. We must provide opportunities for non-believing students to accept Christ.
2. We must have more opportunities for students to follow Christ.
3. We must have more opportunities for students to lead with Christ..
4. We must deepen relationships with more students and parents in order to model Christ.
Looking to see these goals fleshed out in 09 with the strategies we outlined today. Pretty cool stuff. I'm excited. Our team's pumped, and students will receive greater impact from Christ as a result of being focused on what's important, and tossing everything else to the side.

Accept, Follow, Lead, and Model...simple, and good. Let's go for it! Thanks for planning out strategies and giving a clear idea of what our focus needs to be in 2009. Our students will benefit as a result of your efforts! Go GOD! Do your thing in this ministry and help us bring more students to YOU!
