Calling all Youth Pastors and Workers...

Here are some comments on what has been happening with our Youth Pastors Meetings:

"When I went to the meeting on February 9th, I had other things I needed to do in Winter Haven but I went anyway. Once I got to the meeting and starting talking with the other youth pastors, I realized that I really needed to be there. Throughout our time together we were able to talk about some issues that I have been dealing with in my ministry. The advice and support that I got from the other youth pastors has really helped me personally and helped my ministry. Having a group of youth pastors that aren't there to judge you but to help you is a wonderful thing. Every youth pastor meeting I have been to, I have taken something home with me that I can apply to my ministry."

"I love going to the BBF Youth Meetings for many reasons. First I must say that the fellowship and the friendships that I have made are a great encouragement to my life and ministry. Second I am so thankful that I have a group of guys that I can go to and share some of the burdens of ministry with. Many of these guys have great advice and encouragement because they have already experienced the same struggles. Finally, I thoroughly enjoy the meetings because of our strategy sessions. I often find myself running out of new and fresh ideas, but as we come together and share ideas of different sermon series, different activities and much more it is easy to keep things fresh and exciting here at Suncoast Youth Group! Thanks BBFI Youth Pastors!" -

Youth Pastors, we would love to see you at the March Meeting at Faith Baptist Church in Sarasota.  It will be a time of sharing burdens, prayer and having some ideas and information that you can take back to your ministries.  In our youth pastors meeting we'll be discussing creative ideas to get students to help lead in ministry.  Make plans to be with us!
