Returning from the National Youth Workers convention we are feeling pretty good about connecting with the Youth Ministers. We had some great conversations and continue to meet new people and catch up with old friends.

We spent time this week meeting with local high schools that might be interested in hosting us in the future. We met some very nice administrators. We will continue to contact a few more so that we might have plans for up to three years out.

Now we are off to the Eastern Christian Convention November 13-15. If you are in the area drop on by and visit our booth or join Ken in one of the two workshops he is leading. Here they are:

Send Me!
Isaiah, replied, “Here am I. Send me,” when he heard the Lord ask, “Whom shall I send? And who will go for us?”
workcampNE provides the opportunity to minister, like Isaiah, to the local community. Students are challenged with work projects that will provide skills training, a time to strengthen their faith with a meaningful evening of worship (and good speakers!) and for some, and leadership opportunities. Work projects are designed to satisfy all skill levels from painting to roofing; providing the necessary home repairs to those families who cannot afford to do so themselves, or who are physically unable to do so. Christ has taught that relationships are most important – establishing one with Him first, our fellow brothers/sisters in Christ as well as the unchurched. workcampNE is a strong voice in establishing those relationships. Come and experience us to learn more. A modest tuition is charged for the week to cover the cost of materials and the expense of setting up and running the week of camp.

There’s no “I” in TEAM, but there’s ME
WorkcampNE Inc., a faith-based 501(c)(3), is helping to pioneer into ministry new insights to values-based initiatives; understanding the core of individual(s) and how they are best suited to contribution to ministry. We all embrace personal values. We assume we all have the same ones, but do we? Sustained, effective results only happen as we reinforce equipping and empowerment, which happens as an outcome of understanding the individual even before they contribute to the overall ministry of the church.
