I spent the last 5 days at the Simply Youth Ministry Conference in Chicago. 

I'm back in California - exhausted but recovering.  I got the chance to talk with dozens of youth workers about their areas of ministry and influence.  I'm inspired by all of the youth workers out there who are passionate about connecting with, and caring for, students.  I'm also impressed by all of the support, resources and tools that are available to help them succeed.  You can check out some videos from the conference at conference.youthministry.com.

Right before the Toby Mac concert on Sunday night, SnapShot Web gave away a free year's worth of hosting and a custom template to a youth pastor from Ashland Kentucky.  Check back soon for some pics and links to the site we'll have set up.
