As a youth pastor who loves his calling on most days, I was so pleased that our District had Sonlife Training for us.  I know it was a little inconvenient to other pastors who had to arrive earlier then the official part of the conference but I appreciated it.  Consider it a trade-off for all the business meetings you have made us sit through ;-)

It was so good to see Pastor Mike Harder from Branchcreek Church in Montgomery County PA lead us in the training.   Chris Folmsbe, New Kind of Youth Ministry rewrote the curriculum for Sonlife.  I liked Folsmbe, inevitably I would like the training.

I’ve been trying to figure out how to explain Sonlife.  It’s like student ministry but for Christians.  Let me say it like this.  You know how some student ministries don’t know what they’re doing … like at all.  Especially for those that are not professionally led or for new youth pastors.  They would gain tremendously from a day like this.  Some of it is obvious, but even if you have been in ministry for years, you can be reminded of some aspects that you may be neglecting.  At least that’s how I felt.

You can bring a Sonlife Training Day to your church and invite your youth workers and invite those from other churches.  (I would like to do that one day).
