Volume 4, Issue 8
December 2, 2008
It’s just the first week of December and already it seems like folks have holiday fatigue.
Maybe it’s because we at FYI work hard and are constantly looking for rest ourselves, or maybe it’s because most youth workers we know seem over-stretched and under-supported. Either way, we are thrilled to offer you and your ministry team resources that you can use either before or after the holidays to experience the rest and balance that God intends.
In “Deep Rest: Two Practices Every Leader Can Try,” we give you and your adult volunteer team training curriculum that will help you experience more of God’s big-ness and your own smallness. “Deep Rest” is an excerpt from our Deep Leadership: Training Onramps for Your Youth Ministry Team curriculum that offers you and your team nine months worth of training for under $20. Deep Leadership can only be ordered via our website through December 15, so we invite you to check it out before it’s too late.
Starting in January, we’ll be releasing the first of a five part series called “Sabbath Rest in a 24/7 City.” This series, geared especially for you who are involved in urban youth ministry, will help you find the pace God intends for you to walk.
Here’s to a 2009 full of Kingdom rest and fruit.
