From all over…
I’m teaching this week in New England to a group of high school students from around the country. They are some of the best, brightest, most spiritually mature, and ministry-focused students that you would ever find together.
They come from all over — near Evansville, IN; Pittsburgh, PA; Portland, ME; Dallas, TX; Quincy, IL. I’m sharing the teaching with some very accomplished pastors/teachers from Indianapolis, Evansville, and Springfield, IL.
What brings us together for such a purpose? All of the leaders/teachers believe that:
-Youth should be invested in more than critiqued. The best ideas for ministry (and most everything else) are going to come from them.
-We want to lengthen the runway for high-potential students when thinking in terms of leadership, worldviews, and ministry (especially church planting).
-We think changing this region of New England is a critical element to changing the world. I love Chicago and the midwest, but Suncrest has a major church planting focus in New England because it is a center of influence culturally and a bellwether for the country.
