We praise God for an absolutely wonderful summer of ministry on Operation Barnabas. We started out with 90 teens and 16 adult leaders on three teams, and I am thankful to report that we returned with that exact same number! Read more...

Momentum Builds Local Church Youth Ministries

Grace Church Youth Group

Grace Church Youth Group at Their Work Site

This was my 10th year at Momentum, and honestly, there was something different about it. The fact that students weren't just going to a conference to soak up the Word (although it’s a key part of the week), but that they were able to put feet to their learning and go DO something to help communities in need was phenomenal.

Doug Kegarise, Director of Student Ministries at Grace Church in Lititz, Pennsylvania sent an email to his church letting them know what happened at Momentum youth conference.

Free Youth Group Resource for the Fall

"When the Smoke Settles" is a youth group lesson plan for the fall to help students follow through on commitments they've made over the summer.

After a summer of exciting events and decisions made at camps, conferences and retreats, students need to stop, reaffirm their decisions and plan practical steps to help them follow through. Read more...

Operation Barnabas Weekend for Middle Adults?

The Halftime Cabinet, a group especially focused on middle adult ministries, is preparing for a new type of ministry experience. If middle adults do not catch the fact that they need to be "on mission," they will buy into a materialistic viewpoint of life that is focused on comfort, pleasure, and themselves.

As a result, the Halftime Cabinet is proposing weekends for adults to go to a church to be encouragers for outreach, service, and living authentic, Christian lives. The first weekend that the Halftime group will serve is September 7-9 in Dallas Center, IA, in order to be encouragers to people in that congregation.

Some of their weekend activities include such things as painting, cleaning, visiting, gardening and cooking. But the real focus will include relationship building. Halftime members will stay in homes of the congregation and will work side-by-side with other adults doing projects. Throughout the weekend the Halftime Cabinet will be sharing testimonies and will even have a separate session for men and women during the Sunday School hour in order to share stories from their lives. The Sunday morning service will be led by the Halftime group.

It is our prayer that this will be a stimulus for renewal among believers, encouraging them to have a heart for ministry. Hopefully this model will expand to encourage other middle adults to do this type of ministry in their own regions of the country.

This last week the Halftime Cabinet had a planning session was held at the Barnabas Center where they met with Randy and Dena Todd from the Dallas Center church.

If you are a middle adult and would like to join the Halftime Cabinet for this weekend, contact Ed at CE National.
