Youth Camps and Retreats

I was a youth pastor for 5 years (2 in jr high and 3 in high school).  I love challenging young people to move beyond the superficial into a deep encounter and kingdom lifestyle with God!  I’ve had the priveledge of speaking at several retreats, camp experiences, campus clubs, and Christian school chapels.  If you have a “Camp Theme” for the summer or winter, I’m happy to build a series of talks around such.  Feel free to contact me and I would count it an honor to partner with you in cultivating an atmosphere where the Spirit of God is free to transform the lives of teenagers.
