4% of American Christian Youth Are Active In Church [including ours] -- Let's Change That!!!

Impact World Tour, an outreach of the international Youth With A Mission ministry, is gearing up for an evangelistic campaign in northwest Ohio from April 24 - May 13. And WE have been invited to participate!

At the fund raising dinner last night, I sat around a table of Christian businessmen and women in the city whose hearts and checkbooks prove they believe reaching our emerging generations of youth for Christ is eternally significant. Their faith in what the united body of Christ on earth can do together was inspirational. And when I introduced myself, all of them were very excited [surprised?] to learn that the local Seventh-day Adventist Church pastor agrees.

They said the last thing they remembered we did with them for the community was an annual Bell Choir Festival and a Series of Musical Concerts. Which is great. And obviously worth continuing [hint...hint]. But wouldn't taking and training our own youth [and anyone else willing -- Joshua and Caleb stormed Canaan in their "retirement" years!!!] to participate in what amounts to a 3 week urban missionary trip in our own backyard expected to reach 150,000 youth with 15,000 choosing Christ and looking for a church to actively serve Jesus in be just as great?

Or are you happy with the 4%?

Connections will support with our time - No Easter play this year but instead we will focus these 3 weeks on the youth of our neighborhood. We are willing!
