LIfe in Student Ministry...A Friday Give Away

Last night I got to spend some time with a wonderful group of people from the Lafayette Association. I had the privilege of talking about Student Ministry to many of the workers from the Churches in the association. On my drive home (about 100 miles) I had an opportunity to reflect on the night and some of the questions that these dedicated workers ask me. I am convinced more than ever that student ministry workers want to deliver the goods! We talked last night about making sure that we keep our ministries all about the gospel! Our students are coming because they want to learn and understand theology and the things of God! We need to utilize all of the tools available to us to reach this generation for Christ. I traveled to this conference to teach and encourage and left knowing that I learned something and was very encouraged.

One of the tools that I discussed at my conference was a book by Dr. Alvin Reid called Raising the Bar. Every student ministry worker needs a copy of this book! It has been out for a while but it is still very relevant! I have a brand new signed copy of the book that I will send to one of the readers of this blog! All you have to do is leave your name on this blog post comment link, then I will enter all names on to random.com and choose a winner! Look forward to hearing from you! Good Luck!

I know Matt was reading this book and from the excerpts he had shared with me, I would like to read it as well.

God Bless,

Tim Hamel votes yes for Doc Reid books, most especially free ones. I'll finally be back in FL tomorrow, so look forward to me stopping by soonish. In any case, I thought I'd stop in and say "Hi!"

You are so right about young people coming to want to hear the good news, too often some in the church think that the youth will only come because of the "fun stuff" forgetting that learning from the word of God is "Fun Stuff" and that is what we are called to do go share the good news.
I thank God for men as yourself who are not ashamed to proclaim God's word.
