In beginning to try and get the youth pastors of Florida's BBF churches together through the tool of a youth pastor's fellowship, one of the stated goals we had was to learn not only the importance doing things together, but the "how" as well. On Friday September 12 the Florida Youth Pastor's Fellowship sponsored our first event, Revolution Rally 2008. We had an amazing time, and God blessed with over 200 teenager's in attendance. God did allow one young lady to come to know Him as a result of this event, and many more heard the gospel, some for the first time.
God has also blessed in our monthly meetings. We have been able to share ideas and passions with each other that have really made a difference in our own personal lives and ministries. Solid relationships are being formed among the guys that are coming which I believe will really help down the road. We want to continue to strive for our meetings to keep getting more relevant, God and ministry centered, and to have more people be a part of what is going on! Make plans to be with us!
In other great news, Amie Carmichael has started a youth pastor's wives email list. Amie is the wife of Sheldon Carmichael who is the youth pastor at Park Street Baptist Church. The list is called, "The Better Halves" and has been a real encouragement to many already.
In an email that Amie posted on the new list she stated, "I desire for this group to be a safe haven for the wives who are going through things they just need to talk about, need advice on or even to share God's blessings through out this crazy adventure!"
I know it's not always possible for our wives to get to come to a fellowship meeting, or get face to face with other women who are going through the same things they are. This new list provides an excellent opportunity for them to interact on a daily basis with women that are going through the same things. If a youth pastor's wife would like to be a part of this group, Amie says, "They can either email me at p2bat@hotmail.com, or they can also find it by going to google groups and typing in 'the better halves' in the search bar."
Suncoast Baptist Church
We here at Suncoast Baptist Church look forward to hosting the August FBBF meeting. We have drawn the theme for our meeting from the words of the Apostle Paul in 1 Corinthians 9:22 where he said he was made all things to all men, that he might by all means save some.
Paul and the First Century Christians were accused by some of turning the world upside down (cf. Acts 17:6), but they did not do it without great difficulty. I don’t know what your experience is these days but it seems difficult sometimes to get believers excited about the things of God. To read the great preachers of yesteryear like Charles Spurgeon and D.L. Moody and the great preachers of our day like David Jeremiah, it always has been difficult.
How do we reach the lost in our fast-paced, hi-tech, sex-saturated, entertainment-crazed society? Evidently, not without great diversity. We may not agree as to what methods may work the best in our individual situations, but I am persuaded that it would further the kingdom of God to discuss them.
For this reason we are including an informal “brain storming” session over dessert to discuss some methods that might be of some help in reaching the lost. We plan on sharing a few things we have done and are doing here at Suncoast. In addition, I have asked Joe Murray, from Harmony, FL to share with us again, as he has month by month, the way that he and his family and church family are making connections with their community. I have also asked Greg Peters and Russell Johnson, two friends who have shown a propensity for ingenuity in reaching their communities for Christ, to speak from their hearts from the Word of God.
The food and fellowship will be great. The content of our meeting will be beneficial. And the preaching and praise time will be a blessing. I believe this meeting will be a good investment for your ministry. We hope that you will come and invest in it yourselves.
