After NYC  
PARENTS of NYC 2015 Attendees 
Please be intentional in these next few days and weeks about helping your student(s) process their NYC experience. While the time that we are away is very important, the days that follow our return are also very important. The more meaningful and extensive their processing is, often times, the more they end up being formed and shaped by what they learned and experienced. Click here to read a great article. Together let's pray that God will use your student's encounter with Him at NYC to continue to change their life!
