Happy New Year

I can't believe that 2010 is a few short days from being over. One thing is for sure. I never pictured how God would bring me to this place in my life. If you had told my wife 3 years ago that I would someday be a youth minister, she would have laughed at you. Three years ago I didn't think God was calling me to serve Him in the youth program. I thought it was something I would never do. Never say never, because God will always prove you wrong!
God has done great things in my life in 2010. Accepting the position of the youth minister was definitely one of the easiest decisions Mandy and I faced. We knew beyond a shadow of a doubt that God was leading us here. During these past 4 months we've been blessed by the Life Teen youth ten-fold. Sure, there have been some times of heartache, but we've seen God's hand in each and every hurt.
I couldn't ask for a better group of people to take this journey with. Thank you all for being a part of it! I'd like to ask that you continue to pray for myself and the Core Team each day. You are all in our prayers daily.

Life Teen will start again on January 9, and Edge will start again on January 12. I'm looking forward to seeing you all soon, and I hope you have enjoyed your break. See the January and February calendars on the right hand side of this page for upcoming events. We still have some discounted tickets for the Silver Dollar City trip. If you'd like to go, but missed the deadline let me know.
