I signed up to come the night of the deadline, and there was not much time left. I have been to different conferences but they were mostly for the youth group. I have been to other workshops but they only last a an afternoon. I have talked with other youth workers and wanted to be in a youthworker "network" but notheing has come of it. This conference these youth workers in the trenches have been interested in where I am at in ministry, invited out to dinner and chinese food. Things that have happened to me before. While it is important to get the youth to conferences to be challenged, encouraged, and renewed it is just as important for the youth worker, youth pastor, or youth director to have the same challenge, the same encouragement, and the the same renewal without it we will also be the ones writing our resignations on computers, we will be the youth worker that only last a couple of years. Instead of the one that hangs in there over the years, to see an impact being made (hopefully). It may have been one of the hardest decsions but it was also one of the best to come here. Thanks.
