Rod Thom,
Director YVWA, Youth Pastor @ Lifestreams Christian Church
Well here we are in March already. It's been a great start to the year.
ACTIVATE training is off and running. Angie Mitchell is our new ACTIVATE Coordinator and is really excited about walking alongside the ACTIVATE students. Orientation was held on Friday 26 February and it was great to officially get started. We have 13 students in which 3 are from regional WA. Our scholarship winners are Christopher Judd (Mukinbudin), Kendall Wall (South Perth) and Aaron Chester (Thornlie).
I'm really excited about the following things we're working towards for the coming months;
- ACTIVATE training
- being able to partner with local churches by providing traineeships and scholarships
- help find youth workers for the churches that are searching
- SYG 2010 is shaping up to be the best ever. We saw our first lot of SYG Coordinator meetings happen in late February. They were well attended and Brittni Baum (SYG Coordinator) did a great job in casting the vision for SYG 2010.
- RECHARGE 2010 will be at a beautiful new venue called Footprints on Preston
I continue to look forward to connecting with you and collectively working towards our vision; to see youth ministries growing and flourishing in all of our churches. As a team here at YVWA, we would love you to join with us in praying for all aspects of ministry throughout our city and state.
