This is the group, Adventures in Missions (AIM), that we partnered with in our outreach to the Katina-affected regions of Louisiana a few years ago. I’m praying for a group of youth leaders / blogger friends that will be leaving on a trip with AIM to Haiti this week. You can follow their story via Twitter and Facebook. Will you join me?

Some of you LONG-TIME blog readers will remember when this domain was a static site and the student ministry blog was parked over at the elevatingageneration.org domain. We made the switch, got rid of the static site, and moved the blog over here earlier this year. It’s been great!
Well, when that happened, I announced that I had plans for the old elevatingageneration.org domain that would be made public later. That time has come. I’ve re-launched the site as my personal/family blog, where I’ll also post articles that I write for other blogs/ministry sites around the Net. The first post has some BIG family news from us, so go check it out now! We’re so excited!
I know this is probably confusing, so I’ll try to make it simple here…
ELEVATIONGENERATION.ORG - Elevate Student Ministries site (you are HERE now; it’s GREEN)
ELEVATINGAGENERATION.ORG - my new personal blog (you need to go THERE now; it’s GREY)
Ha-ha! Anyhow, I hope a few of you will stop by and subscribe. Thanks!

This video “world premiered” tonight over @loswhit’s blog. It’s fun! How come I can’t make every instrument that I pick up sound like that? ;p

This Wednesday evening our senior highers are going to hear an original story written by my friend, Jason Salamun, pastor of Project Church in downtown Rapid City. If you are not a senior higher and you are “jealous much”, then you should click over to Jason’s new blog and get the FREE e-book for yourself.
As Jason puts it, “White As Snow” is a “simple love story that represents something more profound than my mere words can describe. A tale of pursuit between a Savior and his bride. The beautiful, dangerous, and central message of Jesus. The gospel.” I can’t wait to share it with you.

I started this blog back in May of 2007 and, since then, I’ve somehow managed to average about 100 unique visitors a day this year (up from an average 20-a-day last year). I’m so thankful for all of the friends and new connections I’ve made as a result. I’m completely hooked! I’ve had so much fun sharing links, memories, and life with students, parents, and youth workers. Thanks for reading! I hope you stick around for more “thoughts, links, and updates on youth ministry, life, and culture” in 2009.
I think it’s funny seeing what the top posts were for the year; check ‘em out:
These probably wouldn’t have been my top pics for the year, but since most of my readers seem to come from a variety of backgrounds and geographic regions, I guess I can see how these rose to the top.
