Tim,
Again! God wins!!!
Let me back up and explain: had a meeting Mon nite w/ Sunday school teachers and Superintendant and us (hubby and I are Youth Ministry leaders). In a follow up email, the SS Super commented to us “that there are parents that don’t want their kids in youth group, but not to let that discourage us”. So, we thought–why bring it up? We know of the kids that don’t come to YG and we pray for their families. What bugged us (Satan knocking in the head), was WHY BRING IT UP?!?!?!?
THEN—-Praise The Lord, I watch this a.m. your video blog and #5 was discussed….ONLY BE VALIDATED BY GOD.
Thank you Holy Spirit for your comfort and for using Tim when You knew we would use Tim’s message to get Your Redeeming message.
Tim, great stuff. I know the important one that struck a chord with me is taking care of yourself. in the town where i work, there are a lot of youth pastors that don’t take care of themselves (ie. work too many hours, don’t take time off, are afraid to let someone else handle something) and are starting to burn out. i try to tell them they need to take time for themselves, but it doesn’t work (i’m the newbie in town). it’s the achilles heal of youth pastors.
This is great Tim. Very cool to see you use video so well and communicate with your visitors.
This is it! The new frontier of amazing ministry…online!
God bless you brother!
Hey, I just stumbled on to your website, so much great stuff to use. We just moved to a small town and our church is starting a much needed youth group–I am so excited to find this info.
Thanks so much! God is Awesome!!
