Connection. It’s a powerful word, and it’s exactly what teenagers are searching to find. Teenagers want to connect with Jesus and others. That’s the incredible role youth workers get to play in the faith formation of teenagers. But connection is not only something teenagers are running after; youth workers are looking for connection, too.
Last fall, The Landing launched as a hub for youth worker connection, a space to contain resources for ministering to teenagers in their culture and context. Over the last few months, we’ve been busy praying, collecting contact information, learning, listening, and intentionally seeking out ways to provide connection for youth workers in the NAB.
We’re delighted to announce an opportunity for NAB youth workers to connect digitally on May 18 at 11:00 a.m. (EST). This Zoom call will be hosted by April Wahl (EYELET member) and Wayne Stapleton (VP of Cross-Cultural Engagement and Emerging Leaders).
The Landing exists to serve you. This hour-long Zoom call will be an opportunity to share your voice about what you would like to see and how you are willing to assist in helping The Landing provide a growing and deeper connection to our NAB youth workers. We will begin with an introduction by April and Wayne, who will share more about The Landing, as well as the content and stories they’re looking for. We will also provide a time for you as youth workers to share stories about your ministry context.
Click the link below to register for the the Zoom call. If you have any questions, you can contact April or Wayne.
In the meantime, if you have any stories to share about what Jesus is doing in your youth ministry, we’d love to hear them and share them on The Landing webpage. You can email your story to april@centurybaptist.org or youth@nabconf.org. You are doing incredible work, youth workers! We appreciate you! Thank you for joining Jesus on mission to influence and impact the teenagers in your midst.
