Networking Works

I had the opportunity to attend my second youth leader network gathering. More than 20 youth leaders from the greater Cleveland area gathered at Abundant Life Church, in North Royalton, OH for the February Motus Network. Pastor Rocky Taylor welcomed us into his church, while we enjoyed great food, great conversations around the tables, and a great presentation on building and leading ministry teams from John Moores and Erin Scroggs of Ripple FX.

This is why we do what we do; bringing youth leaders together for mutual encouragement, practical training, and spiritual strengthening. This is networking. As I watched the youth leaders talking with each other, I was taken back to my early days in youth ministry. I remembered how I looked forward to meeting with other youth leaders. How I felt encouraged, inspired, and renewed. How this time was beneficial and valuable. These times together made an impact in both my ministry and my life.

The Motus Network gathering is a perfect example of what we are setting out to accomplish here in Northeast Ohio. Youth leaders coming together for encouragement, support, training, and prayer. As a ministry partner, please know that your generous support and continued prayers are making a difference in the lives of youth leaders and their students. For that, I am incredibly grateful.
