I’ve had the privilege yesterday to talk about where we want to see student ministries head in our denomination over the next 3,5 and 10 years. It was invigorating, exciting, humbling, overwhelming, scary and downright wonderful to ask God for what He would want!One of the many things we wrestled with is how to we take our denominations 10 Leading Indicators of a Healthy Church and merge them into student ministries. The discussion was lively and engaging. We spent a lot of time talking about the value of creating training that would address how to implement each of the indicators into student ministry in the local church. Take a look at the indicators here. These indicators fall into one of the three areas we would like to address across the nation: Ministry Health, Personal Health and Leadership Development. We want all of our leaders in the 19 districts to be thinking in these categories as it relates to having healthy youth pastors in healthy youth ministries across the country. Here’s how it breaks down.
Ministry Health
10 Leading Indicators
Personal Health
Connect w/ God, self, spouse
Leadership Development
Multiplication
Training and Coaching
As I reflect more on these areas I’ll “throw up” some thoughts! It was good to be here in Minnesota but I am looking forward to being HOME tonight!

It sounds like a productive time in the north country. Did you get to spend any time with Fritz? We got to see him when we were in MN last month and it was great. Hope to see you soon.
