Youth Pastor's Connection speakers share resources

NWC Youth Pastor/Worker,
 
We were blessed to have Rick Mattson of InterVarsity and Jim LaDoux of Vibrant Faith Ministries (formerly the Youth & Family Institute) with us at our first two Youth Pastor's Connections this year. As a follow-up for everyone, they have made available some additional ministry resources for your access and use.
 
Rick has posted Apologetics Training for High School Students on a Google Doc site. If you email Rick and request these resources, he will be happy to grant you access to them. A Google account is necessary for access.

Jim has provided an outline of his presentation on Doing What Matters Most in Ministry (pdf). He has also provided the following link-http://public.me.com/ministrytools-which provides a pot pourri of ministry resources available through Vibrant Faith Ministries as an additional help for you.
 
We hope you find these resources beneficial to your ministry.

Children, Youth & Family video

At the 2010 Northwest Conference Annual Meeting we debuted a series of video segments designed to help our constituents better understand and engage NWC ministry priorities.

One segment focuses on Children, Youth & Family ministry throughout the conference. Several youth pastors and children's pastors from NWC churches are highlighted in the video.
