With Chris Zoephel | Summer is Here

YAMIA is the youth and student ministries arm of the Anglican Mission in the Americas.

Here is what we are doing this summer for youth ministry at Immanuel.

The Sr High is going through the book of Acts. The Jr High ministry is just starting out so we shall see what happens there. Have to feel that one out first. We are going to continue to meet weekly though throughout the summer.

We are doing a beginning of summer snorkel trip and beach party in a few weeks that is open for all youth.

We are taking our kids to Global Reach Camp in early July and to Soul in the City (our AMiA missions camp) in late July. We are doing a bowl-a-thon to raise money for that in 2 weeks.

Those are most of the big things. My focus is hopefully going to be on seeking God and meeting kids where they are at. I may try and reinstitute a summer discipleship school type thing. I have done it in the past. Where I have kids spend the day with me and I take them through disciplines and we do daily business. It has been VERY powerful in the past.
