Yikes! It's been over a month since my last post - an indicator that I'm waaay too busy. What's been happening? Here's the run down....
A month ago I was at Fuller Theological Seminary for two weeks of doctoral studies. It was a wonderful course and my head is full of stuff that needs to come out! When I got home I told Tracy that I felt guilty because I had such a good time.
Three weeks ago we had our annual Ministry Forum at Fresno Pacific University. This year we featured Reggie McNeal. Reggie has spoken and written extensively on trends in ministry. My students had a great experience interacting with him and reading one of his books.
Two weeks ago my Methods of Youth Ministry class hosted the Youth Specialties CORE seminar on campus. The students enjoyed seeing a behind-the-scenes perspective from the training seminar. Here's a few of them with the day's speaker, Charlie Scandlyn.
Now I'm busy planning for the culminating experience of the spring semester. March 31-April 3 is the national youth conference of the Mennonite Brethren. I'm co-director of Anaheim 07; we'll have 1100 high school students and leaders. In a very different type of activity, we are taking every single teen into urban Los Angeles for a ministry immersion experience - we're not going to serve the poor, we're going to learn from them!
That's what I've been up to. I hope to be posting more again real soon....
