Altared Youth Ministry

YEC 2010 was a blast!

29 01 2010

It was another great year at the Youth Evangelism Conference put on by the WV Southern Baptist Conference. This year, the conference was held in the Charleston municipal auditorium. I had the opportunity to take 14 of the kids from the youth group. The kids had a great time rocking out to the Jason Lovins Band. The evangelist for the evening was Rick Corram, who by the way knocked his message out of the park. Many kids accepted Christ for the first time. I had the opportunity to pray with 3 young women who had lost their mom in a car accident and they blamed God for the accident.

By the way, I am trying a new software to update my blog. I hope this works!!!

This questoin goes out to all of my youth pastor readers out there. One of my best friends has recommended some books for me to read. They are cop books written by best selling aurthor Michael Connelly. I have gotten hooked on these books. There are very good. The one question I have is this, am I the only one in the youth ministry world who likes to read other things out side the youth ministry world. I mean, I read my bible and everything, but I want to read something light, something with not a whole lot of thought process. I don’t feel convicted or anything, just curious.

I am back and things are great!

6 12 2009

Well, it has been a long time since the last time that I have posted anything on here. I think now is a good time to start. Things are going great in the youth. We are getting ready to go Christmas caroling at the local state hospital and we are taking the kids out to eat at a local resturant. Thing are going great at home also! Kallie is 2 going on 25 and my wife Chrissy and her are starting to come to church on Wed youth night. As for me, I have dropped 20 pounds and have started to run again.

Well, that is all for now. I will post some more later!

Michael Jackson Youth Lesson #2

7 07 2009

I was just looking on Twitter, and I saw one of my good buddy’s “Tweets” that talked about people worshiping Michael Jackson like an idol. That got me thinking….worshiping false gods…….I’ve heard that before. So, here is another lesson on MJ. [more...] Read the rest of this entry »

I really needed tonight! (climb out update)

5 07 2009

Well, the climb out keeps coming and tonight was no exception. I was a little aggravated by some kids who called me late for church, which made us 15 minutes late. So, I made the kids go and sit in “Big Church” and listen to Pastor Basil preach. And preach he did!! [more...] Read the rest of this entry »
