     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. I pray that you will find this information useful and will be blessed by the features and resources at Pastor2Youth.com that are intended to help you in your ministry to youth. Please allow me to share with you some news and announcements about the highlights, help, and resources at your disposal.

     A Discussion Forum for YM Spouses
Thanks to a GREAT suggestion and idea from CarlyK on the Pastor2youth.com discussion forum, there is a new section under "Youth Ministry" that is specifically for Youth Ministry Spouses to share with one another. There is some brewing excitement about this new forum, and it is just freshly started a couple days ago.

So, encourage your spouse to register for their own username on Pastor2youth.com and to join in on the discussion. My wife as well is posting on there and is excited to share with others and glean from others. This is a great place to encourage our spouses to go to find some encouragement, ideas, and just place to share their thoughts, ideas, advice, and so much more.

Click HERE to visit the discussion forum .... and HERE to visit the YM Spouses section directly!!!

Pass it on was created by Doug Fields and Jim Burns to not only train you through various issues in youth ministry, but to also equip you with the tools necessary to train your volunteers or other youth workers in your community. Our hope is that you will leave Pass It On encouraged and equipped with the resources necessary to pass the material on when you return home. Please click on any one of the banners for more information or to register.
