Ministry UpdateThe vision of radically impacting the number of students and young adults leaving the church and faith has not only continued in early 2015, it has steadily gained momentum. Growth has occurred in all three areas (Equipping, Developing, Connecting) where we strive to make impact. In addition to the ongoing mentoring of leaders, church consulting, and curriculum development projects, we also are partnered with Youth for Christ USA in their Houston plant work as well as working on several other collaborations
with other ministries. Numerous new projects are in the early phases as well. In the next few weeks, we will be launching a new website featuring a weekly blog for ministry leaders, parents, and students. Youth for Christ San Antonio has approached us to lead them through a strategic planning process, and we are in discussion with Youth for Christ USA about an ongoing nationwide partnership. Our innovative connecting
web technology will (hopefully) be ready for beta testing by this fall and the various curriculum developed over the past three years are ready to be edited, packaged, and published. We will also be involved with multiple family camps, retreats, and mission weeks between now and the end of summer. With all of these opportunities come greater challenges as well. As we look to add paid staff and to meet the opportunities in front of us, please pray not only for Intentional Ministries but also for younger generations to build lasting relationships with Christ. I also pray you will consider joining our team of supporting donors (see below for more details). Finally, if we can be of any service to you or the
ministries you are connected with, or if your group needs a retreat/camp speaker, please drop me an email; would love to hear from you. In His Grip, Josh Arrington
