Greetings, and welcome to our national site. Our desire is that the youth ministries within the Anglican Mission be exceptional. To that end we have developed this site. The "we" I am referring to is a group of Godly, like-minded and dedicated volunteers within the Anglican Mission that I have the privelage to serve alongside and lead.

We successfully unveiled the site at the AMiA Winter Conference, running around the hotel with our bright green YAMIA.net t-shirts, complements of Curt Solomon. We have a page for Winter Conference-related resources, including links to our new podcast that we're unveiling this month. Stick with us. There's some good stuff unfolding here.

If we took a poll of American adults, how many of us would choose to go back to High School for even an hour? With the exception of playing a particular sport, most of us would pass on that every day and twice on Sunday. But if we are going to reach students for Christ, "going back" is exactly what we need to do. But now, as a post 30 year old without hair, how in the world do I find an "in"?

God has opened the doors of one of the local high schools in my home town.
