Our last two teams for the YMV season launched this weekend. I cannot believe we are down to our final two.
On Friday evening three churches from the Western Slope of the Rockies gathered in Grand Junction, CO for their Select YMV launch (headed to Utah). Normally our select teams do not have a "Launch" but because Jared Coe helped host the Mountains and Mid America Launch at his church in mid-June he was able to watch us go through all the activities and then go ahead and do that for the teams he was leading.
Meanwhile, Brad Hostak's group from Lacey, WA drove down to Portland, where Youthmark host, Kirk Petersen led the launch for River Ridge (headed to Vale, OR).
Be in prayer for these two missions (and follow both of their blogs). I look forward to giving a "summer-end" report after this week.
Grace,
Brian
Hello friends of Youthmark! This is the Youthmark Staff Blog. We are a unique team with nearly 50 years combined Youth Ministry experience (but can you guess which one is the oldest?).
Brian Aaby (center) is the Founder and President of Youthmark. He will blog about all things Youthmark.
Kirk Petersen (right) is a Regional Director over Oregon and SW Washington. Kirk will be leading several of the Launches and will blog about some of the "coaching" he gets to do in preparing leaders for these trips and living out mission at home.
Aaron Bauer (left) is a Youthmark Mission Consultant and a live-in-the-flesh Youth Pastor. Aaron gives us a strong "on the ground" presence and can blog about how missionship is lived out before, during and after a trip.
