     Greetings Pastor2Youth.com Member/Subscriber,

     There is always new information to share about what is happening at Pastor2Youth.com. It is a joy to be able to share with all of you the exciting things happening and the new resources available to all users.

     A-"Muse"-Ing Thoughts Blog
On January 1, 2006 Ryan Nielsen started a New Blog titled A-"Muse"-Ing Thoughts: A Muse is defined as "the source of an artist's inspiration." My inspiration comes from God. This blog is where I plan to share my thoughts... from serious to silly, and everything in between.

I would love if if you would stop by and visit, leave your comments, and I would also love to exchange blog links with you if you have your own blog as well. In addition, please share this blog with anyone you think might enjoy reading it. I hope to share from the heart and have things that will encourage, inspire, inform, and entertain - as I said above, from the serious to the silly.

History: Gman used to do like a Friday Five question to that of youth ministry over 3 years ago and keep up with it for at least 2yrs. Every Friday, a new set of questions would appear. It would allow dialogue, insight, and opportunities to learn from one another.

And even a friend of Gman's suggested to do a proposal to YS with their Questions series (The What IF, would you rather etc books) with these purposely being used for youth worker meetings, volunteers, and questions to ask youthworkers and parents. It was a good idea, but the Question series was not as popular and the demand not there.

So Gman would rather Resource For FREE. In 2005 Gman took some break from the Qs to focus on some other issues. And now the return.

Gman has also allowed these questions to be hosted on pastor2youth.com's Discussion Forum. There is a section dedicated to these questions, which you can access here.

So AGAIN, Hopefully you look forward to these questions. Answer as you'd like. Pass 'em along. Just tell them the question originate from Gman Fess.

A CONTINUED PLEA TO ALL PASTOR2YOUTH.COM USERS: PLEASE FIND EVEN JUST ONE RESOURCE THAT YOU HAVE CREATED AND WOULD SUBMIT TO PASTOR2YOUTH.COM'S YM EXCHANGE.

Exciting things are happening at Pastor2youth.com now has OVER 20,600 registered members. There are a lot of members who regularly stop by to download fonts, lessons, Powerpoint Games, Powerpoint and MediaShout Backgrounds, Powerpoint lessons, and to pick up games for their youth group programs, just to mention a few. It is exciting to see so many people making use of, downloading, and utilizing the resources from pastor2youth.com. That is what the site is here for.

So, now is where I send out my CONTINUED PLEA to all of you to PLEASE take two-minutes to stop by Pastor2youth.com and submit some resources for inclusion on the site: whether it be a lesson, a Powerpoint File, and game you play, or some other miscellaneous file that you utilize in your ministry. If we could get just HALF of all registered members to submit ONE resource this month, we could add an additional 10,300 resources to this constantly growing site. How awesome would that be? Think about the return-rate. You give 1 and get in return 10,300!!! That is quite the return. All resources are able to be submitted directly on the site by clicking on the "add game" or "add resource" link within the proper section of the site.

There are a few who have continued over the past month to submit resources to the site to help with the continued growth and I would like to express a special thanks to them. I appreciate how you help pastor2youth.com to continue to grow, and provide fantastic resources for all to use. So to those who have contributed, THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!!!

So, please help add to this list of contributors and continue to make Pastor2youth.com a growing and vital resource for youth workers around the world.

In case you have any problems submitting your files, or if you would simply prefer not to do it yourself, you can e-mail the files to me at uthpastor@pastor2youth.com and I will upload them for you making sure all ownership, permissions, and credit is given to YOU!!

I, and thousands of other youth workers around the world, thank you in advance for taking a minute to add a new resource.
