Youth Encounter
Fourth Annual Fellowship Dinner Celebrates Youth Encounter's International Ministry
A Night of Mission and Ministry!
by Joe Lindell
More that 225 people
gathered from places far and near to learn more about Youth Encounter’s
International team ministry. After
dinner and warm conversation, guests enjoyed a video slideshow with highlights
of Youth Encounter’s 2002-2003 ministry year.
Rev. Hal Stoa recognized
Youth Encounter’s Heritage Society Members, each of who has contributed $10,000
or more to Youth Encounter’s ministry or has included Youth Encounter in their
estate plans.
Rev. Chuck Lindquist,
General Director of the World Mission Prayer League ( www.wmpl.org) encouraged the audience, “ Nilikuonyesha nyota na uliangalia kidole tu.”
which is Swahili for “I pointed out to you the stars and all you saw was the
tip of my finger.” He emphasized that
despite fears of terrorism and disease, Youth Encounter must continue its
mission to strengthen the international church through the faith and ministry
of its youth.

2003 Faith Inkubators Renaissance
News from our Friends at Faith Inkubators
by Amy Steubing
Are you ready to build the
kind of team that can inject energy, passion, life, and fun into the
educational ministries of your church?
If so, Faith Inkubators’ Eighth Annual Renaissance Team Training
Conference is just what you need to get your team ready for the fall. Come and join FINKs from all over the world
for four days of cross-pollination. The
Renaissance Team Training Conference will be held July 28-31 at the FINK home
offices and Trinity Lutheran Church in Stillwater, Minnesota.
This year we will be
focusing on how the Faith Inkubators system can work in churches of all
sizes. We have keynoters from rural
North Dakota, a large church in Minneapolis, and a suburban church in Virginia
who will share how they are using FINK in their churches. Our FINK staff and trainers will turn your
group into a “Dream Team” by the time we’re through. You will also have the opportunity to experience the beautiful
Victorian town of Stillwater at an opening picnic Monday night, a lunch cruise
on the St. Croix River, and an uplifting concert by Christsyde, a Christian rap
group from Los Angeles.
For more information on
the Renaissance Team Training Conference check out www.faithink.com or call
