we talk about ourselves a lot, so we thought we would let you hear about ignite from someone else's point of view.
thanks for sharing perry - you are a great encouragment.
"Jonathan: I'll be back again... This is Perry from Crestwood... This year I have signed up myself and both of my boys... Our youth group at Crestwood is going through a reconstruction of sorts... we have pulled many adults into wanting to build and strengthen the youth outreach.. With that said, we know that it really takes youth to reach youth... I do want to learn any technique that is necessary to reach today's youth... But being 52 years old, I also realize there are youth I can't reach because they consider me irreverent in their lives... Over the last few Ignite conferences, this is what I have found to be the greatest spark of hope.... Bringing in Youth to train them to reach out to their peers... That is why I have signed up both my boys... They have already been on a mission trip to Mexico... They both believe that Jesus is God's son... They know that they need to reach out to their friends and win them to Christ... They just need the instruction on how to do it!... When you get down to it... Those of us who are believers don't have a hard time deciding to die for Jesus... But... We do have a tendency to slack from living for Jesus... and guiding our friends to Jesus... Jonathan, with all that is going in our world today, I believe that this Ignite Conference may be the best hope our youth in Iowa can receive... It has gotten to the point that we need to "storm the gates of hell" and take back unto ourselves, those that have been carried away, by Satan and his lies. But, we older people can't do it all... We need our youth to rise up and make a stand... I believe that this Ignite Conference will inspire them to do that, and I pray that God will use this to reach many of our kids friends and acquanticences... Look forward to seeing you again on the 13th... May God continue to bless you and your ministry..."
In Christ's Love

Student ministry is not about fun and entertainment it is about teaching the Bible. Student Ministry isn’t not about performance but about transformation. Student ministry isn’t about music, facebook, cool clothes, or even concerts; it is about love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness & goodness. Student Ministry is not about trends and curriculum it is about relationship & faithfulness to God. Student Ministry is not about small groups, wed. night services, volunteer meetings or parent problems but primarily about repentance, the Holy Spirit’s call, spirit guided living & holiness. Finally, Student Ministry is not about mass communication, letters, e-mails, notes, calls visits, it is about our connection to God. At Ignite our goal is simple – to help you ministries do better youth ministry – Welcome.
