Youth Leader Training Event 2010

On Saturday, February 27, we held our annual Youth Leader Training Event. This is put on by the Augusta Baptist Association and myself.

I am able to bring some youth ministry friends from around the state and even some new ones through friends. We invite youth pastors, leaders, volunteers, parents or anybody who is interested in working with students.

It's amazing because we run the whole spectrum of leaders. From full-time youth pastors to volunteer youth leaders. I met one guy who has worked the last 6 years at his church for no money and he only has two students. The great moment happened when Matt Lawson, High School Pastor at FBC Woodstock, was able to encourage this leader.

That's why I love doing this event. We didn't have the crowd I wanted. Everything did not go as planned. However, we are able to connect leaders and volunteers in ways that will see fruit in the future.

To God be the glory!
