Happy Monday,
I hope everyone had a BLESSED weekend. I feel like I have NEW energy and I am so EXCITED about this Youth Ministry Program.
Brandon’s Thoughts:
This weekend I participated in the Men’s Walk to Emmaus and I must confess I wasn’t really looking forward to it but I am so glad I went. For me my job is my life and my life’s mission. I spend every waking minute trying to serve those around me. My “kids” mean everything to me and from time to time it can wear a person down; spiritually, mentally and physically.
This weekend for me was a chance to recharge my battery and WAKE UP. Joy comes in the morning and morning doesn’t necessarily have to have an A.M. next to it. Morning happens when you WAKE UP.
JOY IS HERE WAKE UP!!!!!!!!!!!! J
Read Luke 22:27 and think about it

Youth in Missions is a growing event of youth and young adults who are striving to love God and God’s people through mission, outreach and social action. We connect these young people with organizations who are serving God’s people through out City of Opportunity, a space which features non-profit and church organizations serving the world.
